To help morning drop-off go smoother - please drive all the way up to the cones instead of stopping at the doors! We can fit more cars in the drive if you go all the way to the cones. Please have your student exit to the sidewalk if the line is full. They can walk safely to the doors from any point on the sidewalk. During drop-off times there is no left turn onto 16th Street after dropping off your student to reduce traffic. Please turn right to exit from the front drive.

Does your child talk about WIN and CharacterStrong at home?
Here is an introductory Video from CharacterStrong - LINK
Here is a bit more information!
WHAT I NEED (WIN)
What I Need groups, or WIN groups, meet opposite lunch for 25 minutes each day. During WIN time students will receive assistance with their work, have opportunities to get extra help, and learn about Social-Emotional issues through the Character Strong program. One of the aims at our school is to equip young people for all the realities of today’s world. With that in mind, we have partnered with CharacterStrong – an organization that provides training for educators and social & emotional learning curriculum for students. Their work in grades 6-12 focus on 3 main outcomes: increasing a sense of belonging for all students, improving skills that support student well-being, and deepening student engagement in their academics, in their school, and in their community. Denison CSD is implementing CharacterStrong PK-12 so you can ask any School Counselor about how we are building strong character!
¿Su hijo habla sobre WIN y CharacterStrong en casa? ¡Aquí hay un poco más de información!
LO QUE NECESITO (WIN)
Los grupos de Lo que necesito, o grupos WIN, se reúnen frente al almuerzo durante 25 minutos cada día. Durante el tiempo de WIN, los estudiantes recibirán ayuda con su trabajo, tendrán oportunidades de ayuda adicional y aprenderán sobre problemas socioemocionales a través del programa Character Strong. Uno de los objetivos de nuestra escuela es preparar a los jóvenes para todas las realidades del mundo actual. Con eso en mente, nos hemos asociado con CharacterStrong, una organización que brinda capacitación para educadores y un plan de estudios de aprendizaje social y emocional para los estudiantes. Su trabajo en los grados 6-12 se enfoca en 3 resultados principales: aumentar el sentido de pertenencia para todos los estudiantes, mejorar las habilidades que apoyan el bienestar de los estudiantes y profundizar la participación de los estudiantes en sus estudios académicos, en su escuela y en su comunidad. ¡Denison CSD está implementando CharacterStrong PK-12 para que pueda preguntarle a cualquier consejero escolar sobre cómo estamos construyendo un carácter fuerte!
