Red Ribbon Week

EnRICh Sessions for Grades 3-5

EnRICh will begin on Monday.  We have rigorous, highly engaging experiences being offered.  This cycle of EnRICh will last for 10 weeks.  

We are asking teachers in grades 3-5 to communicate these guidelines to participating students prior to Monday afternoon.

Student EnRICh Guidelines

1. Participating students must walk directly to his/her EnRICh session, quietly on 3rd street).  Intervention is going on during this time so there should be no noise coming from the hallway.
2. EnRICh begins at 2:10.  Students will not be allowed to enter their EnRICh room after 2:15.  EnRICh teachers will close the door at 2:15.  If late, the student(s) will need to return to their homeroom class. We only have 30-35 minutes for EnRICh so EnRICh teachers will not have time to repeat directions for students who arrive late.
3. Each EnRICh student is responsible for bring a Chromebook with them and returning it to their homeroom after the session.
4. Participation in EnRICh is a privilege, so misbehavior will not be tolerated. It could result in removal from the EnRICh experience.
5. Last, but not least....Challenge yourself, have fun, and learn a lot!
6.
