I think we all know the value and importance of the role that parents play in their child's education. The article this week gives practical advice for how to frame conversations with parents that will result in them partnering with teachers to help their child.

Superhero Run/Wellness Day 5/18/2018
In cooperation with the Parents' Club, we will be having a Wellness Day and Superhero Run on Friday, May 18th. The Superhero Run will take place during the school day. A couple of teachers have stepped up and have worked on some planning for this event, and at this time we have a tentative plan in place for the day. There is still room for some suggestions and tweaks, but at this time the draft schedule and plan can be viewed on this DOCUMENT. Thanks to all those that have contributed efforts and ideas into making this a successful day for our students.
Modified Schedule Days Coming Up
In looking ahead, we will be having a couple days in the month of May with a modified schedule. Those days are:
May 18 - Wellness Day/Superhero run
May 22 - Middle School Play - starts at 1:45
May 24 - 6th Grade Track Meet - runs during the afternoon
May 30 - Assembly (Carelli Cup Finals, Book Competition Update)
Last Day of School
Like Mr. Shappell mentioned in an email earlier, we will be having a normal school day on the last day of school (June 1). With such an early last day of school, it is important to keep in mind our guiding principles of utilizing each minute that we have with students. We will be working hard with our students right up until the dismissal time on Friday, June 1. Staff check-out will begin after students have left school grounds on that day.

More details about the event to come, but save space on your calendars for this valuable learning experience. If you're interested in attending, add your name to the session on this document.
Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
