Accelerated Reader has helped our students develop a larger love of
reading. This coming year we're developing an even better way to use and
celebrate student learning!
Because we believe in the whole child, children at Outlook have an
abundance of different opportunities above and beyond the regular
curriculum. We offer intramural sports programs in the morning and
during lunchtimes. We also have after school opporunities as well. From
Early Morning Singers to Swing Dancers to Unicyclists, there's something
for everyone. Just ask us about it.
The "Applaud Squad" is the Outlook Student Council. Made up of fifth grade students (President, Vice President, Secretary, and
Representatives), the council helps build moral around the school and
supports the many programs at Outlook. Students campaign in May of every
year for the positions and the fourth grade votes on who will get to
represent them. The Applaud Squad also creates the Outlook Radio Show
each month.
Morning Meeting is a program that allows students voice and choice in a
safe setting and is part of our overall behavior prevention program. All
newly hired staff are required to do Morning Meeting. We have dedicated
the first 20 minutes of our day to do this program. Our program is based
largely on the book, Morning Meeting. Having done it now for three
years, it's a program that has helped the culture of our school and
given children an opportunity to share about their lives.
