Chief Example for Others (CEO) Character Trait for February
Determination and Hard Work
Congratulations to our students who were chosen as the February CEO’s!
Thrive Time Focus of the Week
This week, we’re starting a new Thrive Time unit called Setting Goals for Personal Growth. We’ll begin by learning how to stay focused, discover our strengths and areas to grow, and the importance of having a growth mindset. We’ll also practice ignoring distractions and staying focused even when distractions happen, helping us build skills for success both in and out of the classroom.
Families, take time to talk about these ideas with your students at home as well! We can all practice these skills every day!
Family Conferences and Book Fair This Week
Family conferences are on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, February 24-25. If you do not yet have an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher, please check posts and messages from your child’s teacher on ParentSquare for the link or reach out to the teacher or the office to get an appointment.
Conferences are a wonderful time to meet with your child’s teacher, to share progress in school and at home, and to make goals together to help your child grow. We look forward to seeing you all!
When you and your student attend conferences, your student will receive a $3 voucher to be used at the Scholastic Book Fair which will be open on Tuesday from 3:15-8:00pm and on Wednesday from 3:15-7:30pm.
Also, on Wednesday, students from CTEC’s (Canyons Technical Education Center) cosmetology/barber program will be providing free basic haircuts to Midvale Elementary students on a first-come, first-served basis from 4:00-6:00pm.
