On-Site Learning!
It has been a great week since the return of our students to the school . It is nice to see their smiling faces in person rather than virtually. Our Covid19 protocols are still being adhered to and I like to thank you for continuing to support the safety of the students and staff when you are dropping by the school.
As with a new year there are always changes. If you have any changes in contact information please make Mrs. Benson in our office aware of it.

Learning in ACTION
ALPHABETMANIA - Our Kindergarten students learning the alphabet
Mechanics
After a month of learning online Niton Central School's Jr. High students returned to in person learning this past week. And with that return they were able to switch from learning the theory of mechanics and using tools to the practical application. Students and teachers are happy to have our amazing students back.

Counselor's Corner
If we take time to do some self-reflection we can all see that through our lives we have experienced many uncomfortable feelings such as worry, anger, or sadness. These feelings could have been attached to thinking that our friends might disapprove of us, anxiety around tests/academics, applying for a new job, or meeting new people. Now more than ever we are surrounded by some pretty anxiety-inducing things like COVID-19, doing school from home, triggering news, and constant exposure to negative things on social media. One skill that I practice with the students I work with is reviewing the Circle of Control. This tool can help put things in perspective and lift some weight of feeling responsible for certain things off our shoulders. Please watch the video attached to see how great this tool can be!
