No access codes are required this year; you need only follow the link and navigate your way to our school.

Interesting Reading & Viewing
- So parts of this really resonated with me, and parts made me stop dead and say ‘What?!?’ I’m not so sure about scary stories, but deliberate strategies for anger management are right on. Can Inuit Moms Help Me Tame My 3-Year-Old’s Anger?
- Have you been watching any basketball? There have been some good games. This bit, though, out of the Women’s tournament might be the best thing I’ve seen from the whole of the NCAA. Notre Dame women’s coach, Muffet McGraw was asked about gender equality and her role as a female head coach, and wow, did she ever answer! Everyone should read or watch what she had to say.
- I loved reading about this student at RC Garnett’s speech this year. I Am Me: A Lesson on Inclusivity at R.C. Garnett’s Speech Fest. Celebrate people for who they are.
