I am a builder when I quickly acknowledge mistakes and humbly make amends
One of the things we have found about apologizing and admitting to wrongdoing is that many people will say the words “I’m sorry, BUT…”
Try to avoid ever giving any type of excuse when apologizing. It takes the contrition out of the apology itself, no matter how good the excuse is. Looking someone in the eye and saying you made a mistake and are sorry, has been found to make you all that more vulnerable and gives the other person the opportunity to let down their defensive guard and forgive.
Looking forward to next month’s theme, here is the video: https://youtu.be/xlBm5yoRLwI

March 30 – Parent Empowerment Night – Child Safety and Prevention of Human Trafficking
Did you know there were 70 cases of human trafficking reported IN UTAH in 2019? And over 330 cases since 2007 IN UTAH. This is not happening just in other places, this is happening on our streets. Sex trafficking, labor trafficking, male, female, old, young. Do you know how to spot it? We have invited 3 Strands Global Foundation to come and address this important topic and empower our families to learn and prevent. Please come join us VIRTUALLY on Tuesday, March 30th at 7 pm. When you attend, your student will earn a reward and you will be empowered with knowledge. This is appropriate for you to watch with your students and have a discussion about as a family. There will be simultaneous Spanish translation available on the zoom call.
April 1 – Jeans Day
For students with no #2 OR #7 card moves. Watch for a sticker coming home on Wednesday so you know if your student qualifies to wear jeans! Here are the guidelines:

April 1st – Regular Shoes for Girls
As of Thursday, April 1st, there will be no more boots allowed for girls. If we do have a typical spring snow storm, students are welcome to wear their boots to school but will need to change into regular school shoes once they arrive at school.
April 2nd – Annual Builders Assembly
All students will wear their best Monday through Thursday uniform. We want everyone to look smart and snappy for this very important assembly!
Parent Survey
We are offering a free homework pass to all students whose parents complete the survey. It can be used during Term 5, for groups regular homework or homeroom subject homework (not eligible for use on tests, book reports, or projects), at the discretion of the homeroom teacher. Please complete ASAP!
Zee Maps
We encourage our families to form carpool groups, so that less cars come onto the property. To facilitate this, you can access a Zee Map for our campus – it provides the contact information for families living near you. Zee Maps is available only to our enrolled families by signing into Skyward. https://draper2.americanprep.org/carpool/
