What's Hot at Envision - Issue 1: September 2023

Welcome
Greetings Envision Friends and Families,

It’s been a great first week here at Envision! We have really fantastic students. Thank you for trusting us with them. I mean that sincerely.

Approximately once per month, I send out a “What’s Hot!” Issue to give you some highlights and reminders of things going on and to come. They can always be found in the ‘Family’ link on our Envision Website. So, without further ado . . .

Here’s What’s Hot at Envision:

What’s Hot at Envision!

This week was our first week for our weekly EMBER drawing. EMBER stands for: Engaged, Mindful, Bold, Equitable, and Resilient. Students who demonstrate our EMBER code in class, in the halls, outside, at lunch...anywhere here, may receive an EMBER Ticket from a staff member. This week alone we had over 150 EMBER tickets to draw from. That’s a new record! Way to go Fyre Gryphons!

In addition to our EMBER Awesomeness, we are among the first schools in NTPS to open a student-run Restorative Center! More details about this at our Open House on October 11th.
