'We Are Magee' Celebrations | |
As a school team, we take moments each and every day to celebrate each other and our learners. We want to also take the time to celebrate our Magee families and community members. If you, your family, or learners have something they want to celebrate with the whole Magee school community, please send a picture and a description to [email protected] and we will add it to this section of the newsletter. We are excited to see and share other celebrations in our community in the weeks to come! | |

September's Habit of the Mind | |
Managing Impulsivity
As we continue to work on our September Habits of the Mind focus, we have been practicing the following tips:
-
Tip #1: When you STOP in "STOP, THINK, before you ACT" - ask yourself - how is this situation/event making me feel? How might I manage my feelings so that I can respond respectfully and responsibly?
-
Tip #2: When working with a partner or in a group, establish rules first so that everyone has a voice in the discussion and so that everyone knows the rules to follow.
-
Tip #3: Remind yourself that how you are feeling does not always need to be acted on. Stop, name the emotion. (i.e.: ‘I’m Angry’, ‘I’m upset’, or ‘I’m tired’.) Then wait to respond instead of getting carried away or having a big reaction. What will help with this is waiting while counting "1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi" or count to 10.
Here are two resources for you from The Institute for Habits of the Mind.
Parent Resource
Student Resource
Here is the update for our school goal in the cafeteria:
4K/5K: 70
1st/2nd: 64
3rd/4th/5th: 65
At our lunch periods this week, we will discuss if they want to watch a movie during lunch OR extra recess! Everyone did an amazing job in the cafeteria this month!

Homecoming Parade
We are still looking for someone to head up a group of Magee students, families, and teachers to march in the parade. Please reach out to Mr. Nies if you are interested. PTO will provide Candy and Mrs. Cyndi Patrick has an idea for a float! Time is running out.
Line-up • Date: October 7th • Line-up time: 4:45 p.m. Parade time: 5:30 p.m.
Place: High School Upper Parking Lot and Wales Elementary Parking Lot.
Starting at the high school Oak Crest Dr floats will travel south towards Mama D's and then make a circle turning on Genesee street, James Street, and then back on Main street, returning back to the high school.
The location order of floats/marchers in the parade will be dictated by the handout emailed the week of the parade.
Demeanor – Safety and ambassadorship are key! • No semis may pull trailers. • No student drivers of vehicles; adult drivers must be 18 years of age or older. • Only 5 riders allowed on flatbed trailers. • Student walkers are allowed behind the float, but no one is allowed between the truck pulling the trailer and the trailer itself! • Candy or trinkets may be tossed by walkers beside the float, but may not be thrown from on, behind, or from the front of the float.
Take down: After the parade, school personnel stationed at the entrance to the school parking lot will direct you to the appropriate location. Plan on pulling your float to the back of the HS/Wales Elementary parking lot to make room for all floats BEFORE dissembling your float.
