When participating in a community engagement it is always a great idea to take pictures. Community engagement will be documented in the IB Portfolios. Sixth grade students will set up their portfolios during first quarter. Seventh grade students already have established portfolios that were created last year.
Eight grade students are not required to document community engagement, instead they will develop, manage, and execute a Community Project. (See the Community Project Tab for updates).
Students do not log Service HOURS. We have moved to Community Engagement.
Complete 1 Action per semester and submit a reflection form. 2 Actions per year
Reflections will be updated through the IB Portfolios
Actions will be organized as a school, however students can choose to complete Individual Choice Activities in addition to the School-Wide Activities. The first action will be in September at Piedmont when we organize our International Day of Peace Event.
Family involvement in the community is still encouraged.
Recognition and incentives are available for students that go above and beyond the required 2 actions. .
2 School planned event (1 per semester) and 1 additional Individual Engagement are the minimum requirements. We had our first community engagement school-wide in September, "The International Day of Peace" activity. The second will happen in March or April (again school-wide). The third is an Individual choice action.
Individual Choice Activities can be any events in the local community, supporting an 8th grade community project event, school advertised events outside of school - like a stream clean-up or a campus clean-up etc...or working at your place of worship with your athletic team or dance team etc...
If you have any questions about Community Engagement please contact Mrs. Thornburg
When you are ready to log an action refer to your Homeroom Teacher's Canvas Page. Most teachers should have the link posted there. If not, refer to the formula below. Action logs can only be accessed through the student's google account. A private email (gmail, yahoo etc) will be blocked. The reflection log is for the student to complete - not the parent.
The formula for getting to your reflection log in 6th or 7th grade is www.bit.ly/(Teacher's Name)+Reflection+2526
So if your teacher is Mrs. Jones you would go to www.bit.ly/JonesReflection2526
If you have questions reach out to your homeroom teacher or Mrs. Thornburg
