A note from your friendly counselors...
If you haven't filled out your staff info please make sure you do! Here is the link:
If you are needing school supplies for any of your students this year please let Megan Hull know. We have school supplies that have been donated to the school by PTA and can help get what your students need!
Please let Molly or Megan know if you do not have a purple heart for your room. We use the purple hearts to signal that you are needing help and are unable to get help for yourself. For example, if you pass out, you would have taught your students that they need to take your purple heart to the teacher next door to let them know you need immediate help. Make sure to teach your students this year what the purple heart is used for.
The Calm Schools Initiative
We are offering every teacher in the world free access to Calm, the mindfulness app that hundreds of thousands of people all over the world use everyday. Our aim is to empower teachers with mindfulness tools and resources they can use to help kids learn this new skill.
Under this initiative, any teacher with a K-12 classroom, anywhere in the world, can get free access to Calm’s paid subscription service (available on Android, iOS and the web). Teachers will have unlimited access to our growing library of guided meditations and mindfulness exercises, including Calm Kids, our programs tailored for age groups from pre-K through high school. Over the coming year, we will be steadily adding to our Calm Kids library, equipping teachers with an ever-expanding supply of content crafted for the unique needs of their students.
