Guidance Update
This has been a busy week dealing with individual students' emotional needs as well as providing classroom SEL lessons. Lessons are identifying triggers and reviewing the different tools and strategies they can use to calm down before they explode. Students are given the example they are like pop cans with their emotions as the “pop”. If they keep all of their emotions bottled up - positive or negative - they can explode in unhealthy ways.

ATTENTION 5TH GRADE PARENTS: Immunizations are required for 6th grade.
Now is a good time to schedule these with your doctor or the health department.
Your doctor and or the health department will be able to view CHIRP and see what your child needs. This normally includes a Tdap, and Meningitis vaccine, HPV is optional.
(For those parents who have already done this, your child does not require anything else at this time.)
