February is CTE Month!!
Career & Technical Education (CTE) provides students with the academic and technical skills, knowledge, and training necessary to succeed in future careers.
Drumroll, please! Get ready for a CENT-sational day because...
IT'S THE 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL!
Mark your calendars for Monday, February 5th, 2024, because we're throwing a MEGA celebration you won't want to miss!
Dress to impress! Show off your 100th-day flair with creative outfits. Think 100 dots, decades-themed attire, or anything that screams "We've learned a lot in 100 days!"
Get crafty! Unleash your inner artist with fun 100-themed crafts like making 100-bead necklaces, designing your own 100th-day crowns, or constructing a giant 100-cup tower (teamwork makes the dream work!). ļø
Ā”Redoble de tambores, por favor! PrepĆ”rate para un dĆa CEN-sacional porque...
Ā”ES EL DĆA 100 DE LA ESCUELA!
Marca tus calendarios para el lunes 5 de febrero de 2024, Ā”porque estamos organizando una celebraciĆ³n MEGA que no querrĆ”s perderte!
AquĆ hay un vistazo divertido:
Ā”VĆstete para impresionar! Muestra tu estilo del dĆa 100 con atuendos creativos. Piensa en 100 puntos, atuendos temĆ”ticos de dĆ©cadas o cualquier cosa que grite "Ā”Hemos aprendido mucho en 100 dĆas!"
Ā”SĆ© creativo! Libera a tu artista interior con divertidas manualidades temĆ”ticas del 100, como hacer collares de 100 cuentas, diseƱar tus propias coronas del dĆa 100 o construir una torre gigante de 100 vasos (Ā”el trabajo en equipo hace que el sueƱo funcione!).
** Benchmark Testing Day! **
It's time to show off your skills and knowledge! Remember, tomorrow is benchmark testing day. Be sure to:
Get a good night's sleep! A well-rested mind is a focused mind.
Arrive on time and prepared. ā° Punctuality is key, and having your pencils, calculators, and any other necessary materials will help you feel confident.
Read the instructions carefully. Pay attention to any specific guidelines or formats for the tests.
Do your best! Give it your all and show what you've learned.
Remember, benchmark testing is a valuable opportunity to assess your progress and identify areas for improvement. It's not about competition, but about personal growth and development.
Good luck everyone! We believe in you!
Ā”AtenciĆ³n estudiantes!
Ā”MaƱana es dĆa de pruebas de referencia!
Es hora de demostrar tus habilidades y conocimientos. Recuerda:
Ā”Duerme bien! Una mente descansada es una mente enfocada.
Llega a tiempo y preparado. ā° La puntualidad es clave, y tener tus lĆ”pices, calculadoras y cualquier otro material necesario te ayudarĆ” a sentirte seguro.
Lee las instrucciones cuidadosamente. Presta atenciĆ³n a cualquier pauta o formato especĆfico para las pruebas.
Ā”Da lo mejor! EsfuĆ©rzate al mĆ”ximo y demuestra lo que has aprendido.
Recuerda, las pruebas de referencia son una valiosa oportunidad para evaluar tu progreso e identificar Ɣreas para mejorar. No se trata de competir, sino de crecimiento y desarrollo personal.
