Principal's Message
A letter from Dr. Boeve
Self-control is part of a group of skills that allow kids and adults to manage their thoughts, actions, and emotions so they can get things done. Experts call this group of skills executive function.
Sitting still, waiting in line, taking turns... we all use self-control in ways that may seem simple. But self-control is a complex skill that develops over time. Kids start building self-control when they are incredibly young and keep developing it into their 20s.
As kids get older, they develop self-control in three areas:
Movement control so kids are not constantly moving in inappropriate ways (called hyperactivity)
Impulse control so kids put on “mental brakes” and stop and think before doing or saying something
Emotional control so kids can keep going even when upsetting or unexpected things happen
Having self-control helps kids in all areas of life. But it is especially important when it comes to socializing. Being in control of their actions and reactions helps kids fit in and make friends.
Drop off and Pick up Safety Reminders:
Gates for all students, having breakfast, opens at 7:30am.
100 Mile Club starts at 7:40am
To ensure our students’ safety, do not double park (or stop anywhere in the parking lot) and ask your student to cross the parking lot or walk between cars to get to the entrance gate. This is not safe
If you not chose not to use the designated drop-off and pick-up lane, you may use the sidewalk.
Families parking on Roswell Avenue, PLEASE use the designated crosswalk in front of the school where our crossing guard is on duty. Every day we see families jaywalking, and stopping traffic on Roswell Avenue, which is illegal, obstructs motion traffic, and this is not safe. Please take a couple of extra minutes to use the crosswalk.
Winter is naturally cold and flu season:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should watch out for symptoms such as:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
While these symptoms do not automatically mean your student has COVID-19, he/she may have another condition – like the flu or strep throat – that could spread to their classmates. It is best to keep your student at home if he/she exhibits any of the symptoms.
