Exhibition Nights
March 28 - K/2/4/6
Our students have worked very hard to prepare for this evening and they deserve our utmost attention on Exhibition Night. Be sure to ask about the Guiding Questions and Learning Targets of the expedition. Inquire how students critiqued, revised, and reflected on their work. Ask about service projects, community guests, and fieldwork that led up to this celebration. And most of all appreciate all the efforts—students’, teachers’ and your own—that went into this extravaganza of learning. Show your pride in this amazing educational adventure!
Doors to the classrooms will be open at 5:30 for parents to visit classrooms. Please plan to complete your classroom visits by 6:30 PM so that teachers and staff can go home to their families!
Digital Citizenship and Safety for grades K-8th
During Exhibition Night there will be a table set up in the foyer by the main office with representatives from Western Carolina University’s nursing program. They have prepared the following brochures for their doctorate and are ready to talk to our community about the importance of setting screen boundaries, promoting digital citizenship, and keeping kids safe while learning to navigate the digital world.
Take some time to connect with them, brochures are available for download below.

Taking Care of Yourself is Part of Taking Care of Your Kids!
It’s not uncommon for parents to be hard on themselves. I don’t make enough time for my kids. I can’t believe I lost my temper — again. A good parent would never have forgotten about that field trip. It can be hard to cut yourself some slack, but with spring renewal and the final push to summer break on the horizon, we want to encourage all parents to take some time to explore how YOU can take better care of YOU! This is a busy time, and while it’s only natural to put your children’s needs before your own or let your own self-care fall to the wayside in lieu of day-to-day responsibilities, it’s important to remember that: Taking Care of Yourself is Part of Taking Care of Your Kids!
And what an essential part it is! We hope the following links will offer new ways to think about your own self-care and empower you to create intentional time and space for your own well-being.
This Self-Care for Parents Info Graphic is a great place to start, followed by this overview of the Five Areas of Self-Care.
Self-Reflection is an important piece of self-care and this quick Personal Self-Care Assessment is a useful tool to help you discover which areas could use some “attention with intention,” so you can better care for yourself and your needs.
For additional education, guidance, and strategies for improving self-care and understanding why it’s important, check out these quick-reads:

“Auntie’s voice wraps me like a blanket. ‘Please be careful. Not every Elder is a cultural teacher, and not all cultural teachers are Elders. It’s okay to listen to what people say and only hold on to the parts that resonate with you. It’s okay to leave the rest behind. Trust yourself to know the difference’.”
