NAVIGATORS' SUCCESS CODE

Academic excellence is our goal.
We will respect each other, our teachers, and our school.
Our achievement will be determined by preparation; what we do at home, and what we bring to class.
We will be proud of what we do, and who we are.
We must chart our course for success!

Team News

The Navigators have weathered through the first quarter! We have learned to negotiate hallways and lockers, practiced managing responsibilities, and increased our awareness of the world around us.
The transformation from elementary to middle school is an ongoing process. As we move into the second quarter, the team teachers will continue to reassess each student's performance. Some scheduling changes may be beneficial since we all want each child to reach full potential. You will be notified before any change occurs.
Thank you for your continued support with our theme of Respect and Responsibility.

Looking forward to a great second quarter,
The Navigators team teachers

The year has just begun and already the Navigators are on the move. Students are getting comfortable with the schedule, learning how to use locker time, and snack time, and becoming familiar with what each teacher on the team expects. As a team of teachers we try to be consistent with our requirements, rules, etc., yet we hope our individual personalities, styles, and techniques make our curriculum exciting and challenging. Academic excellence is our goal. Respect and responsibility are what we insist on. Our students must have a reading book with them at all times. They also need a planner and something to write with.
The middle year of middle school is a transition from the parent and teachers sharing much of the responsibility of getting the student to succeed, to getting the student, themselves, to accept that responsibility. We do have some suggestions to help achieve this goal. Talk to your child. Have them show you their reading books, planners, notebooks, tests, quizzes, and homework. Check their backpacks the night before to see if they are prepared for the following day. Try to be patient with them and give them strategies that will help them to be more successful. Don't feel that you have to do their homework for them or teach them yourself. Have them seek extra help from the teacher if they are confused. Don't let them 'off the hook' if they are not following through with responsibilities, but also don't forget to praise them for their successes, even if they are small.
In our team meetings we try to focus on the positive and recognize achievement in all areas. We have a very active and talented team.
We promote working together, good sportsmanship, and having fun while learning. We want students to want to come to school and feel that good attendance is critical to success.
We are looking forward to upcoming field trips. Hope to see you then. Support the PAB. Contribute to the Walk-a-thon. Don't forget our team slogan:
The Navigators chart their path to success!
