NO SCHOOL November 26-30 Thanksgiving Break
A Message from the Principal
To our Suffield Families:
As you may know, one of the guidelines issued by Governor Dewine is the travel advisory to states with positive testing rates for COVID of 15% or higher. If you are traveling out of state for Thanksgiving break, please look to see if the state you are traveling to is a state on the travel advisory list. Please click the link below or https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/families-and-individuals/COVID-19-Travel-Advisory/COVID-19-Travel-Advisory to check the states. This link is updated weekly. If the state is under a travel advisory while you are visiting, you are required to quarantine for 14 upon return to Ohio. Please notify the school office if this applies to you. We can arrange for your child to have work and be added to the remote learning Zoom classes if necessary.
Help us all keep everyone in school by being safe this holiday weekend. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and keep your distance.
Finally, don't forget that there is no school November 26-30. We resume school on TUESDAY, December 1st.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Mrs. Bookman
Habit 3 - Put First thing First
1) Make a family calendar or schedule for the week

A Message for our Remote Learners
- The next material pick-up date is December 7th from 9:30-1:30. Drop off the red envelope with any work your child may have to turn in. Even if you do not have something to return, please bring the envelope. We will give you the yellow envelope with new work.
- Please keep the office informed if your child will be absent from the live streaming. This is important for attendance purposes. Also, it is important for your child to log in on time so the teacher can let your child into the Zoom session. If your student is late, he/she may not be able to get into the session.
- Other dates for drop-off/pick-up are:
- December 21-22 (Drop-off)
- January 5 (Pick-up)
- January 19
To help at home learning, please consider headphones with a microphone so your learner can better focus and interact with the teacher-Thank you!
Zoom Tips & Etiquette
Just a few tips and etiquette for remote-learning environments:
1. Be on time
3. Be dressed for school
4. Have your breakfast or lunch before joining, not during
5. Pick a quiet place away from background noise
6. Raise your hand to speak
7. Wear headphones to help you focus (ones with a microphone are necessary)
Planning Your Holiday in the Pandemic
Families have tough decisions to make during the holidays with the presence of COVID. Join ASGA to hear Dr. Cuffman, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrician from Cleveland Clinic Children's talk about preparing a child with autism for holidays that may look different, making the holiday special amid restrictions, making gatherings as safe as possible, and managing expectations from others whose thoughts don't align with yours.

Crayola Colorcycle Program
Crayola and schools across North America have banded together to help kids understand the importance of their role in protecting the environment. Suffield Elementary will now take part in recycling markers that no longer work. It’s a super easy project to help our environment! You can send in any brand of markers, sharpies, dry erase, and highlighters. Once we collect the markers, they will be shipped to a facility that repurposes them so that they are kept out of the landfills.
Dates to Remember:
Nov. 26-30 - No School - Thanksgiving Break
Dec 8 - PMC Test
Dec. 23 - Jan. 1 - No School - Winter Break
