Dear Families,

Every Monday during the school year, our school announcements remind students to have a positive and growth mindset. Making and learning from mistakes is an important part of growing into kind, responsible, and successful human beings.

As winter starts to wind down it is common for our children's choices and actions to cause adults to, well, look twice. It is important for the grownups to support our children take responsibility for their choices and actions while learning from mistakes - intentional made or not.

According to Philip Dembo, Ph.D., author of The Real Purpose of Parenting: The Book You Wish Your Parents Read, if you want your child to come to you with the truth (or admit to it when asked), try to keep your cool when expressing your dissatisfaction about her poor behavior. Being calm and approachable makes it easier -- and more likely -- that she'll fess up in the future. Let her know everyone makes mistakes and what matters most is that she's truthful, learns from the situation, and tries to right her wrongs. Then, discuss what she could have done differently, how she can make it better, and any consequences. Don't forget to praise her honesty if she owned up to her actions.

You are our students' first and most important teachers. Euclid staff continues to be honored to partner with you to support the learning and growing happening every day at school.

Karen Daly, Principal

Parent/Guardian Survey

If you have not yet done so, we hope you can take a few minutes to offer your feedback in the parent/guardian portion of the survey. Your answers are anonymous and will help us to better understand the conditions of our schools and where improvements can be made. The State Board of Education requires 20% of our families to participate. Your thoughts make a difference! Survey closes 3/24.

Beginning Monday, March 13, families will be able to register their students for the 2023-2024 school year. This is required for all students. More information will be shared as we get closer to that date.

More information about upcoming testing will be available as we get closer to the administration dates. If you have any questions about any of the assessments, please contact Mrs. Hogan.

In April, the Miles of Smiles, Ltd. dental program will be visiting our district. This is a program that offers free dental exams to students of all grades and also fulfills the mandated dental exam for anyone entering kindergarten, 2nd, 6th and 9th grades.

In order to have your child participate, you will need to fill out a permission form. Once fully completed, the permission form should be returned to your child’s teacher by March 15.

All children who return a completed permission form will receive a dental exam. Following the exam at school, you will be notified if further dental treatment is needed.
