Counselor's Corner
This week we discussed P.R.I.D.E. at Oakwood. The conversations and examples were very insightful. Please refer to P.R.I.D.E. as much as possible. Please let us know if you would like us to join you in any parent conferences you may schedule. We are happy to support you and offer any assistance.

Behavior Tip of the Week:
This week we will focus on a new skill called building "Moxie". Teaching students to have "Moxie" includes explicitly teaching positivity, purpose, and volition.
How can we as educators implement the ideas from the Moxie slogan? What are we teaching our students to do when they become frustrated and angry? Are we allowing them to conform and become an acting out person, or are we encouraging them to be DISTINCTIVELY DIFFERENT in the way they respond?
Edutopia's Dr. Jennifer Levin-Goldberg reflects HERE on MOXIE and the importance of building this capacity in our learners. FOR A TREAT IN YOUR TEACHER BOX....Read Dr. Levin-Goldberg's article then click HERE and reflect on your take-away or aha moment!

Please see attached the OW Emergency Folder instructions and contents.
Everyone should check to see that their folders are complete according to these instructions. I will send an all campus email when the new Emergency Bucket supplies have arrived.
I will be checking to see that all Emergency Red Folders are complete in each class and that each class has replenished supplies in their buckets. If you need any help in this regard for the buckets or folders contact me.
SPED
Case Managers will send out IEP progress reports tomorrow. Forms will be sent electronically and are requited from ALL teachers. Forms are due back to the case managers on Friday, 9/23/16 by 4 p.m.
If you have any questions about the form, please ask Mrs. Johnson or the student's case manager.
Thank you for all you do for our students.
