Getting Groovy with Science

We have a new student at Sandy Hill - a fifth grader! He has been a great influence on everyone in the class. He is very interested in science which has made everyone in the class want to learn more about science as well. We have decided to add weekly science experiments to learn more about our lessons and see what we are learning in action. This week we learned about density so we made DIY lava lamps with oil, water, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer. All the students enjoyed following the scientific method and learning [...]

Keep Up The Great Work!

Learn more about our school today. The highlight of our month was getting to see the High Road School at Choptank Elementary students in person by making some deliveries. We made up goody bags and certificates for the students to congratulate them on the great work they’ve done this year and remind them that they are halfway through the school year. We are so proud of what our students have been accomplishing online. It will be great to see some of them back in the building in February!

We Are Lucky To Have Ms. Shannon

Shannon has been with us for four years here on the Eastern Shore High Road team, and she has gained an incredible amount of knowledge through her experiences. Shannon has stepped up to take the Lead role in the classroom at NDMS this school year, and she has done so with incredible skill and exceptional style. We had many students moving up to Middle School from 5th grade, and Miss Shannon helped the students seamlessly transition not only from Elementary School to Middle School, but to virtual Lessons, asynchronous tasks, and in-person half day sessions. The students are flourishing in [...]

No Challenge Stops Ethan

Ethan has had a terrific first half of his ninth-grade year here at CSD. The team decided he earned the spotlight this month. Between navigating his way around the building to taking on the workload of being in high school, no challenge has seemed to put a stop to his drive. I asked Ethan “what he was proud of most after his first two semesters of high school?” He simply stated “everything”. Ethan has been on time everyday most of the second semester and has risen to the ranks of being on the blue level in the classroom. Completing all [...]

Making Noah Comfortable in a New Setting

Noah came to the High Road program very hesitant of what exactly to expect of us and our expectations for him. Like many students’ it was a rocky start. Noah was quite anxious as well as hesitant due to the circumstances of a new routine. Over the past month Noah has also had quite a few rough days from outside life affecting his everyday focus. With a great appreciation for being on level, Noah has learned to bounce back from his hardships and truly put forth his energy to balancing his emotions. After realizing his new classroom consisted [...]
