Winter Sports Reminders & Updates: How it’s Been and How it’s Going
by Taber Fagan
Last week, many students went skating, studied hard in study hall, or attended other various outdoor activities. The general consensus among the students is that winter sports is a fun break from the school schedule and a nice way to enjoy the brisk weather.
Skiing & riding begins tomorrow! It was scheduled to start last week, but due to high winds, it was sadly cancelled. We are excited to head to Mt. Snow! Reminder to dress warm. Besides the skiing update, all other winter activities will continue as scheduled.
Please note: If you have your own, or have rented skiing equipment, you can conveniently leave it in Brian’s classroom for the season.
Parents - Please fill out the Re-enrollment Questionnaire!
Thank you to those who did this last week. We’d like to hear from the rest of you. Will your child be returning to Compass next year?
Please help us by filing out this three question form even if the answer is no.

Community Circle: January’s Theme
by Jacksyn McAllister
This month's community circle theme is centered around music. Music has brought people together for hundreds of years and thanks to apps like Spotify, Pandora, and Apple, music is accessible to everyone, at all times.
Lou and Brian are leading the conversations about what music means to us, how we use it in our daily lives, and what a tool it can be for communicating our feelings.
Brian runs the morning karaoke wellness group and […] Lou also teaches the music ELO on Mondays. He loves to see people sing who may not be confident in front of other people. He believes that having fun while singing is all that matters and that you leave with a smile on your face.
It’s been so fun to listen to students and teachers from our community get up and share their voice with us this month!
