YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR PARENTS & COMMUNITY MEMBERS
As part of a School-Based Mental Health Grant we received as a district, we are excited to offer a Fall and Winter opportunity to train parents and community members in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). During the YMHFA course, participants develop an understanding of the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents, the importance of early intervention, and how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Participants will engage in a 2-hour self-paced online course followed by a 4.5-hour in-person session with a district trainer on Friday, November 19th from 12-4:30 pm. If you do not have access to needed technology for the online self-paced portion, arrangements can be made to provide you with a device and/or internet access. The deadline to register is Tuesday, October 19th. Please complete this survey to indicate your interest in participating. A confirmation email will be sent to finalize your enrollment in the course and next steps.
COME JOIN LEGO LEAGUE AT COUNTRY DALE
We are excited to announce Lego League at Country Dale Elementary. This is a STEM program run by volunteers for students in grades 3-5 that are interested in learning science, programming, and building lego models. The theme for this year from Lego Inspires is "CARGO Connect." Click here for more general information.
There is a cost per group involved with Lego League that is based on the number of participants. The estimated cost will be approximately $80.00 for a group of 7 children. The price could be more, as we move forward into the competition portion. Meetings will be conducted at Country Dale Elementary school, tentatively on Wednesdays from 6-7 pm.
If your child is interested in joining, please text/email Om Prakash at (510) 565-0590 or prakashom@aol.com before Thursday, September 30, 2021. More information will be shared once we finalize the number of students enrolled.
STUDENT FACE MASKS
Please have an extra mask in your student's backpack. We have had some students forget to bring a mask in the morning or lose their mask at lunch. Thanks for your help.

Bus Reminders
Bus Driver Shortage: Please review this document that we shared on August 31 with all families to make you aware of how a bus driver shortage could impact our bus routes and how we will communicate this with you in the event we can not secure a driver for your child’s route.
Bus Riders Wear Masks: Any individual on a school bus (or any public transportation) is federally required to wear a mask. Please make sure your student has a mask before heading to the bus. Even if students are choosing not to wear a mask while at school, a mask must be worn on the bus at all times. Thank you.
Need a Bus Change or Addition? If you have any additions or changes needed for the busing of your child, please use this Bus Change or Addition Form.
