Challenge for the Week...
I am very excited for this school year! I think we have an incredible staff that is ready to impact the lives of students in positive ways. I look around on social media and see the postings of the new team members, and I think of how fortunate your new students are to have teachers like you. I believe we will accomplish great things this year!!
I am challenging you this week to write two notes of affirmation for someone at school, and remind them of why they are special and how they are impacting your life. Have a wonderful week and thank you for all you do to help Park Street Learn, Grow, and Thrive.

Coaches' Corner
Back-to-School Tips
1. Adopt a growth mindset. Kids need to hear that their abilities are not “fixed” at birth, and that there is always room to improve.
2. Model kind behavior.
3. Get creative.
4. Build healthy habits. Students learn best when their physical and emotional needs are met.
5. Love unconditionally.
