EnRICh

EnRICh will begin this Thursday, November 3rd for students in Grades 2-5.  We have so many exciting cross-curricular EnRICh experiences which will cover many standards.  Please see important information below:
  1. Monday - You will receive a roster of your homeroom students with their EnRICh sessions.  Please inform the students of the sessions they will participate in.  We had to limit the number of students in each session, so please inform your students if they did not get their first choice they will have another opportunity to sign up for a new EnRICh session second semester.
  2. Tuesday - Teachers will receive a copy of the student roster for the session they are teaching as well as the lesson plan outline. 
  3. Wednesday - Your will receive badges for your homeroom students to wear each Thursday to their EnRICh sessions.  In collaboration, we will finalize any missing pieces/answer questions.i
  4. Thursday Morning Meeting - Please use this time to talk your students about the behavior expectation regarding the transition to their EnRICh classroom.  We should be on Zone Zero in the hallway and students should be walking on 3rd street.  They should not pass each other but walk in a line until they reach their classroom (most sessions will be on their grade level wing).
  5. Thursday Afternoon at 1:00 - Have your students lined up to proceed to their sessions. Every teacher should in the hallway by their door to send students off and receive their EnRICh students.  It is imperative that we stick to the times on Thursday.  EnRICh begins promptly at 1:00 and ends right at 1:50.  (It is recommended you have students pack up on Thursdays before going to EnRICh.)
Note: You may need to make an adjustment to your Thursday schedule to accommodate EnRICh.
