Dear Phoenix Families,
This month brought the end of quarter 2, signifying that we're halfway through the school year! I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone. For me, the best part of the end of a quarter is getting to celebrate our amazing student's and their success stories.
Here at Initial Point we have a long held tradition. When the final credit is earned, students, teachers, and staff gather in the hallway while the final bell is rung. In our case, a literal bell! This quarter we had five students "ring the bell!" Please join me in congratulating Emma Martinez, Bryson Duff, Isabelle Turcato, Bryson Chan, and Nathaniel Anthony on completing all of their high school graduation requirements!
In addition to our Bell Ringers, each quarter the staff works together to identify one student from each grade level to be named Initial Point Track Star. Being a Track Star means rising above the rest with Resilience, Integrity, Strength, and Excellence. Students recognized were given an award and a $10 Dutch Bros gift card. This quarter's Track Stars were: Lance Crabtree, Kairi Winberg, Alex Seitz, and Jasmine Madsen. Way to go, guys, and thank you for your dedication to your education and our school community!
A common struggle for Initial Point students is attending school regularly. We work hard to help students build healthy habits that will aid in their success. In an effort to not neglect those students who are already practicing great attendance habits, we spent time in our assembly last Friday recognizing a handful of students who had no more than 1 absence in any class the entire quarter! Students who were recognized received an award and a coupon for 1 free item from our Phoenix Next store.
Today we are almost two weeks into our 3rd quarter. Please partner with us in encouraging students to keep the positive momentum by attending school regularly and working hard to do well in their classes!
