Did you know?…Tips from Principal Bono
You are able to set parental controls on your child’s school ipad to limit screen time.
*If you have an iPhone, this route is the easiest method: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108806
*If you do not have an iPhone, you can use this method:
Removing all electronic devices before bedtime is the way to ensure electronics and screen time do not keep them from getting their much needed 9-10 hours of sleep per night.

IB MYP Moment: 8th Grade Community Project
Our 8th Grade Community Project, a capstone project for 8th graders in the Middle Years Programme throughout the world, has begun! This is a fantastic way for students to apply their learning, explore issues, and make a positive impact on the local community.
It gives students rich opportunities to develop and solidify the IB’s Approaches to Learning Skills – Communication, Social, Research, Self-Management, and Thinking – as they move towards being internationally-minded lifelong learners.
