School Improvement Group

Last year we formed a group designed to focus on specific school needs and come up with plans to address those needs. We currently have room for an additional 2-3 new members. We will meet via Zoom approximately 1-2 times per month for 1 hour. Days and times will be set based on the group availability.  Click the link below to be considered for this group. Thanks!

Please note that students will go to picture appointments with the teacher. We recommend that parents, grandparents and caregivers write any instructions down on the picture form (include sweater, may hold stuffed animal, please smooth down hair etc.).

Teachers will NOT be changing children in/out of clothes so please send students in clothes that they may wear all day.

Picture previews will be sent home either the day of pictures or the day after so that you may order if you wish. No money is due on picture day. There will be no make-up day for pictures however we will have spring pictures as well.

The Feelings Buddies, which were introduced last week are part of a larger curriculum called "Conscious Discipline". We utilize Conscious Discipline schoolwide and want to share with you what we are learning about ourselves and our students!

From the website- Conscious Discipline empowers us to be conscious of brain-body states in ourselves and children. It then provides us with the practical skills we need to manage our thoughts, feeling and actions. With this ability to self-regulate, we are then able to teach children to do the same. By doing this, we help children who are physically aggressive (survival state) or verbally aggressive (emotional state) become more integrated so they can learn and use problem-solving skills (executive state). When we understand the brain state model, we can clearly see the importance of building our homes, schools and businesses on the core principles of safety, connection and problem-solving.

Conscious Discipline starts with the adult. Over the next few newsletters I will link mini webinars that our teachers will be viewing as well. We hope you find something helpful in each one!
