HALLOWEEN IS COMING!
While we are unable to have our traditional parade on campus with families and friends, we will do something fun for the students. We will have a Halloween Parade for students on October 29! Students will wear their costumes to school and parade around our field for parents to watch through the perimeter of the outside gate. Please have your child wear clothing under their costumes so they can easily change out of the costume if they'd like. More information to come later.
Oster's New Social Emotional Curriculum
This year our school is excited to implement a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum called Kimochi's (TK-2nd) and Second Step (3rd-5th). In the spring, the district provided funding for all of our school sites to purchase SEL materials. We chose Kimochi's and Second Step because they matched our school goals of promoting a collaborative school environment, implementing a common language among students at our site, and teaching students how to name their feelings and strategies to cope with their emotions. For more information on our curriculum, please join our upcoming parent education night and visit Kimochis and Second Step websites: Kimochi Parent Resources.
