⚡ Charge Into Fire Safety! ⚡
It’s Fire Prevention Week, and this year’s theme is all about safe charging! As technology plays a big role in our everyday lives, we are reminding our OneClay community that safe charging is a superpower.
🔌 Plug in. Power up. Stay safe.
To keep our homes and schools safe, make sure you are using your 6 Charging Superpowers:
• Cheap charger? Don't chance it. Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
• Soft surface? Hard pass. Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or bare floor.
• Fully charged? Time to unplug. Unplug your device when it is fully charged.
• For tools and rides, charge outside. Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible, and never block exits when charging.
• Feels hot? Stop using it. Stop using your device if it feels very hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds.
• On a flight? Keep it in sight. Keep devices where you can see them while charging on an airplane, and tell a flight attendant if you notice a problem.

There’s no better way to kick off the day than soaking up the sunshine! This morning, Mrs. Winkler’s amazing students took learning and fun outdoors, making the most of the gorgeous weather with a morning bike ride around the courtyard.
From practicing balance and getting great exercise to laughing and cruising with friends, it was the perfect start to a stellar day. We love seeing our students stay active, build healthy habits, and bring so much bright energy to our school community!

What does "getting granular" mean? It means breaking writing down to its foundational elements. Instead of just asking students to "write an essay," we are focusing in on the fine details. Starting with sentence level precision. Crafting strong, clear sentences that convey exact meaning. Students are preparing for all classes and being strong writers.
