Highlighting our Pack Point Winners
At Tiffany Ridge, we use PACK Points to celebrate students who are meeting our four core expectations- Be A Problem Solver, Act Resonsibly, Care for Everyone, Keep Safe. When staff see students doing these things, they are reinforced with verbal reinforcement and a "Pack Point".
Classroom teachers also have Pack Point Menus for students to select rewards of their choice in their classroom.
Stressed?!?!?
Stress can be both good or bad. There is positive stress that can come from exciting events like an upcoming birthday party or vacation, but there is also negative stress that comes from pressures of school or work, conflicts, or illness. Negative stress, if sustained for a long time, can take a toll on not only our mental health, but also our physical health. The way to fight the effects of negative stress is to make sure you and your students are doing something positive or refreshing each day. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Exercise
Journaling
Laughing
Mindfulness
Set boundaries (say no)
Avoid procrastination
Cuddling (person or animal)
Calming music
Deep breathing
Enjoying nature/pets

We want to share the learning topics at all of the grade levels so that you are familiar with what topics and content are taught this month! Your child's teacher is always happy to provide more details should you have questions!
Nominate a Staff Member for the Park Hill STAR Award
That is why we present the Park Hill Star award once a month to a Pre-K or elementary teacher, a secondary teacher and a support employee. Anyone can nominate an employee for this award by using the form below. It asks you to share how your nominee demonstrates our district values of continuous improvement, high expectations, integrity, visionary leadership and student focus. You can also share how your nominee supports the goals in our district’s strategic plan.
