Exciting News!!! Junior Wrestling Sign-Ups Begin This Week!! This is for any student from grades 1st to 8th in the Northwest School District! Please contact nwjrwrestling@gmail.com with any questions or see the information below. Thank you!
We are POSITIVE math games do NOT have a NEGATIVE impact on students! :)
In Mrs. Naumann's math classes, her students learned about adding negative and positive numbers through a game called Grab-a-Charge. Each player would grab a handful of “charges,” negative and positive signs. They would then “cancel out,” by making zero pairs with opposites to see how many negatives or positives were left. They would bank those left and the player with the most in their bank, wins!

Dr. Green and Dr. Flick conducted “Code of Conduct” meetings with our 6th graders today in an effort to help students make an easier transition from elementary to middle school when it comes to behavioral and academic expectations. Our 7th and 8th graders will also be reviewing these same expectations with our administrators later this week. 👍🏻👍🏻
