Hello Week note from our Counselor
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
We are pleased to inform that next week, your child will be taking part in Start With Hello Week at Mays Elementary School. Start With Hello teaches students the skills they need to reach out and include those who may be dealing with chronic social isolation and create a culture of inclusion and connectedness within their classroom, school or youth organization. Last year, over 12,000 schools from across the United States participated in Start With Hello Call To Action week to highlight and spread the message of the power of Start With Hello’s three simple steps:
1. See Someone Alone
2. Reach Out and Help
3. Start With Hello
We encourage you to talk to your child about the Start With Hello program and ask them to share what they have learned. Not only will that help you learn how to support your child to identify isolation, reach out and connected, and Start With Hello, it also demonstrates to your child that you take this subject seriously and can support them in their actions to create a more connected and inclusive home, classroom, school and community. Sandy Hook Promise is excited to announce the launch of a Start With Hello digital interactive platform for grades K to 5. This digital learning tool is being funded by Disney and will be available in the Fall 2019 at no cost for school districts. For more information on this new resource or for more information about Sandy Hook Promise programs, please visit: https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/.
Thank you for supporting the Start With Hello Week!
