Principal Corner- Mrs. Kohel
Hello Families,
Welcome back! We are so excited to have started the 2020-2021 school year! It has been wonderful to see our students whether in person or virtually! Thank you for all of your flexibility and patience with the changes we have put in place this year. The students seem to be settling in and getting back into the swing of school. It has been wonderful to see their excitement for learning.
Thank you PTA!
Thank you to our PTA! They have helped coordinate the support of our amazing Amy Belle families to help get the year started. The PTA has provided Amy Belle staff with masks, shields, gloves and the funds to purchase some classroom fans. They also helped provide each staff member and student with a lanyard pouch to safely hold their masks during lunch and recess. The PTA has also provided all of the items for music kits that were needed for in-person music class. Each student will have a variety of individual materials to use to create music safely this year! On top of all the items they have given the school this year, they also provided all staff members with a welcome back of goodies and a delicious lunch from Panera! Thank you PTA, we appreciate all of your efforts!
Social Emotional/Character Education
One of our focus areas at Amy Belle this year is to build positive relationships with all students in order to create an environment where students can do their best. Staff begin each day greeting students, checking in on their well-being and making sure they feel like they are an important part of our school community. We will continue working on this goal as the year progresses. Although we will not have our monthly Belle Fests as we have in the past, we will provide students with tools around character traits and social emotional skills through some virtual assemblies during the school year. Amy Belle staff indirectly work on these skills on a daily basis throughout the school day.
The Amy Belle staff looks forward to working with you this year! Thank you for partnering with us to provide positive educational opportunities for all students.
Sincerely,
Katie Kohel
