Internationally Speaking, with Principal Bryant
Dear Silver Spring International Families,
October is Mental Health Awareness Month and we took this week to focus on our collective mental health. See the graphic below for a snapshot of this week's activities. A huge thank you to our Counseling Department and Wellness Team for creating meaningful activities to celebrate Mental Health Awareness. Not only did they create daily activities for students, they also filmed and edited the video "What mental health support looks like at SSIMS" and ran a successful mental health fair at lunches where staff and students shared examples of positive mental health and had the opportunity to create stress balls.
In other news, we have approximately 3 weeks remaining in the first quarter. Now is the time to check in with your children to ensure they have completed and submitted all assignments and are prepared to close out this academic quarter with a strong showing of what they know and are able to do in each content area. Encourage your child to speak with their teacher about outstanding work and make a plan for getting additional help if needed.
Caregivers --- remember, you can have a parent-teacher meeting at any time during the school year! I encourage you to maintain regular contact with your child's teachers. Connect with them (and with ParentVue) to track your child's academic progress, ask clarity questions, bring a concern to light, and stay informed about assignment activity. Need a more comprehensive picture of your child's progress? Contact their counselor to arrange a conference with your child's teachers. We appreciate your partnership in the success of our students.
Have a GREAT weekend! 🐾
