WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK: Please Complete the Parent Survey by December 3
The Platte County School District is conducting its annual parent survey to gather feedback on strengths of the district, as well as areas to consider for growth. Your input is important and will be considered when making future decisions.
If you have not already completed the survey during Parent/Teacher conferences, we ask that you complete the survey by clicking on the link below. If you have more than one student, please be sure to answer those questions for each building. The survey should take approximately fifteen minutes to complete. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
**NEW THIS YEAR: For the comment portion of our stakeholder surveys, we are using a new tool called Thought Exchange. Participants share thoughts, then rate thoughts shared by others to create themes and help the District prioritize next steps.
Veteran's Day Celebration photos needed!
Calling on all Veterans!
Siegrist staff and students love to celebrate our Veterans. Our teachers have collaborated on activities they can do in their classrooms to celebrate Veteran’s Day.
We are asking our Siegrist military families to email a picture of their child and the parent or family member in uniform so we can print these pictures and share with all of our staff and students. Please email the pictures to itaot@platteco.k12.mo.us
Thank you for your service!
November Counselor Information
Counselors utilize the Missouri Counseling standards to guide their instruction, as well as supplemental materials such as the MindUP Curriculum. MindUp curriculum focuses on mindful attention centering on conscious awareness of the present moment. By focusing our attention and controlling our breath, we can learn to reduce stress and optimize the learning capacity of the brain. The use of these practices in MindUP is informed by leading-edge research in the fields of developmental cognitive neuroscience, mindfulness training, social and emotional learning and positive psychology. As we learn about mindfulness practices throughout November, December and January, here are some questions you might ask your child(ren):
What have you learned about the brain?
What’s your favorite coping strategy?
What is mindfulness?
