It's Time to Enroll in Your Section 125 Plan!
Lafayette School Corporation
It's time to enroll in your Section 125 Plan. With this plan, you may reduce your taxes and increase your spendable income. Many qualified benefit premiums you pay under the plan are paid on a pre-tax basis.
It's time to enroll in your benefits for the upcoming plan year, offered conveniently under payroll deduction.
Please schedule your short, one-on-one appointment to review all available benefits to create the benefit package that is right for you.
Your enrollment date is: October 7-8. Please see the email from Tammy last week with sign up times.
Upcoming Staff Meeting
October 8 from 3:00-4:00 pm.
Social Emotional Initiative
Please encourage your children daily to STOP BREATH THINK and to be kind to each other. If we have high expectations for this type of behavior, we will see an increase in better choices. Many students need our support to make good choices at school.
The Breathing Station is complete down by first grade bathrooms. There are 4 big posters and 5-6 individual posters under each one. the idea is for each child to stand in front of the individual poster and physically follow the breathing pattern with their finger. There are also ABC YOGA posters up by first grade bathrooms.
Continue to give your children opportunities to practice Breathing, MOVING and EXERCISING while others are using the bathroom. Children will be better behaved and more focused on their learning if given opportunities to practice these skills.
Flu Vaccines
Please read Dr. Layton's Friday Notes for more information and more locations for vaccinations. It is also posted in staff bathrooms and staff lounge.

The Science of Happiness
Student and educator social-emotional wellness is a top priority for the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). In January, IDOE released the social-emotional competencies for K-12 students. In partnership with Butler University, IDOE has created The Science of Happiness course, designed for educators to promote their own social-emotional wellness. Participants will earn 45 professional growth plan points after successfully completing the course. Please promote The Science of Happiness with educators in your district by sharing this short promotional video.
Parent Teacher Conferences October 16-17
Reward Incentives
The first nine week reward incentive was a big hit and great success. Thank you to Mandy Miller for coordinating this spectacular event for all of our students. The goal is to help children track their own behaviors and to meet school-wide expectations.
The second quarter incentive has started. It's focus is on Doggone Good Behavior. Students should be earning a bone for each week of expected behavior. If your students are going to the reward party, they should be tracking their own data and participating each week in the data collection. It would absolutely defeat the purpose if we were just to say "You've been good, you get to go to the party".
Students should be receiving weekly communication sheets to parents and those should correlate with the reward incentive. Both the Doggone Good Behavior chart and the weekly parent communication chart can be found on the above Edgelea PADLET link.
