Parent Information:

Dear Mapleview Families, We are in the midst of another great week of learning. We launched our "Bullying Awareness Week" and have had great conversations with students about being Kind and Respectful. Please follow up about these conversations at home. I am looking forward to seeing you all next week at the Open House on Tuesday, October 1. At 6 pm in the gym I will be hosting a very brief - around 10 minute - overview of our building focus this year and then students will lead a building tour for their families. Teachers will be in their classrooms for questions, but the idea is that students will lead their parents through the building and show them what they are learning and participating in during the school day. Please don't forget about our fundraiser! Students received information last Friday about the options they have. The proceeds from this fundraiser, our only one of the year, go to general building improvements and support our building focus of literacy as we update and improve our book collection. Thanks for supporting these efforts.

Academic and Career Planning: Family Update

ACP Overview We wanted to take the time early in the school year to remind families of our Academic and Career Planning (ACP) process at the intermediate level, as well as, connect you to information containing an overview of ACP from kindergarten through senior year. ACP is a student-driven, adult-supported process in which students create and cultivate their own unique and information-based visions for post-secondary success, obtained through self-exploration, career exploration, and the development of career management and planning skills. You can view a PDF overview of our ACP Process.

ACP at the Intermediate Level During intermediate school, our focus is on exploration. Students begin to explore career clusters in a more personalized way through the use of Career Cruising. They examine their interests, strengths, soft skills, and personality traits to increase their self-awareness while also learning about career clusters of interest. We encourage parents to have conversations with their children about their interests and to look for opportunities where their child could try things they like. Parents also have access to their child’s Career Cruising account through one of

two ways. Students can show you their account or they can email you a link to view their account. ACP Throughout the Year Our ACP opportunities take place throughout the entire school year in a number of settings. Below you will find a tentative road map for when and where students will more formally engage in academic and career exploration. We will communicate via newsletters and emails more about each of the below opportunities so that you know what we are working on and can have conversations with your child.

World Studies Tour 2021: Quebec & Montreal June 21-26, 2021 Explorica.com/Berndt-3856 

Dear Parents,

We are excited to announce that during the summer of 2021, we will be leading our current 4th

and 5th grade students on a once-in-a-lifetime educational tour, "Quebec City and Montreal."

We'll explore famous historic sites, discover the rich heritage and diversity of different cultures,

and experience the places we've studied in class. Students will grow and mature as individuals

and return home with a whole new worldview.

Please read the following materials and join us at the informational meeting on

Monday, September 30th at 6:30 p.m. in the Woodland LMC to learn more. During the

meeting, we will discuss the benefits of intermediate travel, our experiences during previous

intermediate trips abroad, the itinerary, safety, fundraising options available, cost, what is

included, and how to apply. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

 Emily Berndt  Nathaniel Cook
