Chamberlains Senior Bulletin
Vol. 5 The Holiday Edition!
Interims! Oy Vey!
It leaves me w some questions, which hopefully you're taking time to enter into the senior google doc.
1. What is the primary cause?
2. What are we doing to intervene?
3. What can I do to help?
I know that for some of them the major issue is attendance. I hear that loud and clear. please make sure that you are calling home on the kiddos you don't see. You'd be surprised how many times parents are clueless and want to support you!
I appreciate the use of Edmodo as an intervention tool! Keep it up! And if you aren't on board, consider getting there bc it is helpful!
Lastly, how can I support you? I feel like I preach at the kids all of the time, but I am willing to do more of that! Anyone who you feel needs some extra love from me, tell me and I will get with them immediately! I am here for you! Just ask!

You're a big deal, and you didn't even know it.
Every day I tell one of Ms Culbreths kids I love him. It seems trite and silly, but I am not sure he hears it at home. So I tell him. Even when he's been a challenge and has exhausted me. Maybe that's when it is most important.
So I chose the attached TED Talk on purpose. Make sure that before they leave on Friday and go out and face worlds that many of us cannot imagine or before holiday break when they may or may not get any gifts, that you revel in the fact that they need you and that you use that immense power to make them feel valued and loved. Seems like a small thing to do, but it will have sooooo much impact.
(Hopping off my soap box) I need you too. You're my army for success. So just like I asked you, I want to make sure you each know that I sincerely appreciate all of the work you do for the seniors (juniors too).
Enjoy the video.
