Calling on all Veterans!
Siegrist staff and students love to celebrate our Veterans. Our teachers have collaborated on activities they can do in their classrooms to celebrate Veteran’s Day.
We are asking our Siegrist military families to email a picture of their child and the parent or family member in uniform so we can print these pictures and share with all of our staff and students. Please email the pictures to itaot@platteco.k12.mo.us
Thank you for your service!
November Counselor Information
Counselors utilize the Missouri Counseling standards to guide their instruction, as well as supplemental materials such as the MindUP Curriculum. MindUp curriculum focuses on mindful attention centering on conscious awareness of the present moment. By focusing our attention and controlling our breath, we can learn to reduce stress and optimize the learning capacity of the brain. The use of these practices in MindUP is informed by leading-edge research in the fields of developmental cognitive neuroscience, mindfulness training, social and emotional learning and positive psychology. As we learn about mindfulness practices throughout November, December and January, here are some questions you might ask your child(ren):
What have you learned about the brain?
What’s your favorite coping strategy?
What is mindfulness?
After School Programs
Science & Technology from Nov 1 - Dec 6, 2021
