"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - December 16, 2019
The Positivity Project - Self-Control!
This week our students will learn about Self Control. Self-control is the act of managing behavior in a way that positively influences goal attainment and living up to standards. Possessing this strength protects people from destabilizing emotional extremes. Those with self-control are able to limit impulsive behavior. They have the ability to experience and navigate difficulty while remaining poised.
The parent virtue for Self-control is Temperance. Strengths of temperance protect us from excess. Strength comprised in this virtue are forgiveness, humility/modesty, prudence, and self-control.
Please use these quotes and videos to host a discussion with your children.
"Self-discipline is knowing you can but deciding you won't" ~Unknown
"Mastering Self-control, the act of restraining one's emotion is the true key to success." ~Timothy Pina

Coffee with the Principal
Part of the data indicated a need to have more face to face opportunities to speak with school administration. Thus, we are going to begin hosting monthly opportunities.
During each meeting we will begin by share information about a relevant topic and then host an open forum dialogue.
We will host our first meeting on January 14th from 9-9:30 a.m in the Media Center. We will discuss how to create a parent account for DreamBox and how to use this to understand your child's academic progress.
We look forward to meeting with you!
