🎭 Our 7th Grade Theatre Hex Students Take the Stage! 🎭
Students in 7th grade Theatre Hex have been busy building their acting skills over the past six weeks! They’ve explored the parts of the stage, learned about different types of roles, and practiced key performance strategies.
All of that hard work is coming together in a short 10-minute play, Cards on the Table! Students will even get the opportunity to watch their performance back and reflect on how much they’ve grown as performers.
We’re proud of their creativity, confidence, and commitment to stepping outside their comfort zones. Great job, 7th graders! 👏✨

🏡 PBIS Home Connections 🤝
At East Sac County, we believe students are most successful when school and home work together. To help strengthen this partnership, we’re bringing our PBIS expectations—Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible—into conversations at home!
Each month, we’ll share a simple discussion question families can use to talk with their child about what these expectations look like outside of school. These short conversations help students practice positive behaviors in real-life situations and build strong character everywhere they go.
This month’s question:
✨ What does “Be Respectful” look like at home?
👇We’d love for families to share their child’s thoughts or examples in the comments below! 💬🖤❤️👇

Mr. McCollough's Basic Construction students recently completed a fantastic hands-on project, building and installing brand-new bookshelves for the Ar-We-Va Community School District library!
Not only did they sharpen their technical skills, but they also made a lasting impact for a neighboring school community.
Great job representing our school and showcasing the power of career and technical education! 👏
