A Message From Dr. Flowers- Principal
Dear Families:
We had a great week at Brimfield Elementary! Our third grade students took the Ohio State Test for English Language Arts. They did a great job and worked hard! We also had our fall parties and Halloween parade. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and sent items in for the parties. I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the Halloween festivities!
Thanks,
Barb Flowers

Routines and Sleep!!
Getting back into the swing of a schedule is difficult to do. Keeping a routine helps establish healthy habits, it can help kids gain confidence and independence, it establishes expectations as well as lower anxiety. Sleep is so important for students, kids 5 to 12 years old need 9 to 12 hours each night. Not every kid is the same and some kids need more sleep than others. Setting up a regular bedtime each night with a nightly routine such as turning off screens, reading together, and brushing teeth can make bedtime smoother for all. And just like a nightly routine, morning consistency can make for a great start to each day. Waking up at the same time each morning and having a healthy breakfast can help students be recharged and ready for a day at school. Along with nightly and morning routines, having an after-school homework plan can help students stay on top of their homework and help students develop time management skills! Please contact me if you have any questions or need any help setting up routines at home!
Please check out this article by The Sleep Foundation about Children and sleep for more information!

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.
