Note from The Principal

Greetings Eagles!
 
It's the most wonderful time of year! Holiday season is finally here. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing staff members and scholars in the giving spirit. One way we can stay in the giving spirit, is by participating in our food drive. Another way to stay in the spirit is by taking your scholar to volunteer at shelters in the community. Exposing your scholar to these events will instill a sense of community and service in them at a young age.
 
The holiday season is another time that attendance can sometimes be low. Coming to school every day will greatly benefit your scholar. The attendance rate is important because scholars are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It's difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. In addition to falling behind in academics, scholars who are not in school on a regular basis are more likely to get into trouble at school and within the community. In order to get scholars excited about school we host a perfect attendance party each nine weeks. I hope to see your scholar there.

Happy Holidays! 

Ashley Miller,  M.A., CCC-SLP

Character Trait for December: Self-Discipline
Self-Discipline is defined as  positive self control of ones words, actions, impulses and desires, demonstrating good judgment or courage to do the right thing.
Ideas for Parents
-Identify strategies for practicing self-discipline when in heated situations, such as count to 10 and back, stopping to breathe deeply several times, going for a walk, thinking about the consequences, and trying to identify what the other person is feeling.  
-Discuss the benefits of going to school for 12 or more years. Does it take patience to come to school day after day/ What are the rewards of getting an education?   
 
Bullying: What it is and what it's not
 
What Bullying IS:
The definition of bullying: "A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself".  
This definition includes three important components:
1. Bullying is aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions
2. Bullying involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time
3. Bullying involves an imbalance of power or strength
 
What Bullying IS NOT:
1. Not liking someone
2. Being excluded
3. Accidentally bumping into someone
4. Making other kids play or do things a certain way
5. A single act of telling a joke about someone
6. Arguments/Conflict
7. Expressions of unpleasant thoughts or feelings regarding others
8. Isolated acts of harassment, aggressive behavior, intimidation or meanness
 
We encourage parents to talk with their scholars about these situations and reach out for help when there is a concern. Our scholars understand what these behaviors look like and are encouraged to look out for each other.
