A Message From Dr. Flowers- Principal
Dear Families:
This week flew by as we approached Thanksgiving break! As the weather is changing, please remember to send your child in winter coats, gloves, and hats. Students go outside to recess everyday unless it is colder than 20 degrees.
Also, we are still having some parents get out of their cars in the morning. Please stay in your vehicle when dropping off your child in the car rider line. It helps make the line move more quickly.
Just a reminder that we have No School from November 24th- 28th. We look forward to seeing the students back on Tuesday, November 29th. I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!
Thanks,
Barb Flowers

COUNSELORS CORNER!
Hello Brimfield Families!
The internet and technology have become such wonderful tools for schools, businesses, and families, especially right now with the pandemic. But it also has its negatives as well, especially for our students. We want to bring awareness about the dangers of the overuse of technology as well as dangerous websites and apps that kids should not be on. Setting boundaries and expectations, and having open discussions about technology, and safety with your students is important. The more you have an open dialogue with your students about technology, the more they will be willing to confide in you and come to you if there is a problem.
Here are some tips for setting those expectations: When developing a plan for technology use, consider your child’s input. Although you are the parent and ultimately are the one to set and enforce expectations, getting input from your child can help them to feel valued in the process. A great way to do this is to create a technology plan or contract that you both contribute to. When talking about expectations for technology, it is important again to involve your child. Ask your child what he/she thinks the consequences of misuse should be. Establishing these expectations ahead of time will allow for fewer arguments and misunderstandings if/when something does happen.
Below I have listed apps and websites that parents should be aware of. These apps and websites market themselves to the young and can be very confusing for them so please keep a lookout for them. On my school website, I have also linked multiple articles that go into further detail about each app and website so I encourage you to check them out.

PBIS CORNER
What is PBIS?
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is an important part of the school environment to encourage positive behavior. There are clear expectations throughout the school that are taught consistently throughout the year. The four expectations promoted at Field Local Schools are:
Safe
Outstanding
Accountable
Respectful
When students do not respond to teaching of the building or classroom expectations, we will view it as an opportunity for re-teaching, not just negative consequences. Students still receive consequences for negative behavior. The goal of the consequence is to teach students so they will not repeat the negative behavior.
