❤️Capturing Kids' Hearts❤️
The CKH Leadworthy Character Word for November is TEAMWORK.
What is Teamwork?
Teamwork is the ability to work in unity with others towards a common goal. For us to learn how to become team players, it is important that we learn to listen, encourage our peers, and allow and invite others to contribute their talents and skills.
Why focus on Teamwork?
Teamwork improves communication: Teamwork helps us improves our verbal and non-verbal communication skills, conveying that we care and a relevant message.
Teamwork builds interpersonal awareness: Growing a great team requires us to first build strong relationships through better understanding ourselves and others.
Teamwork celebrates diversity: Teamwork thrives from diverse ideas that come from a mixture of different genders, cultures, expertise, experience, and problem-solving approaches.
Our students, who consistently exemplify teamwork throughout November, are likely to be chosen as the Leadworthy Spotlight Winner for their class. Winners get to have a special lunch with the principals!
Please encourage your child to lead with great character each day!

❤️SUPPORT for PARENTS❤️
Primary Care Triple P: Positive Parenting Program
(This is a one-on-one intervention)
Targeted Population:
Parents of Pre-K through 5th grade students
Parents seeking information about how to address a specific parenting or child behavior issue
The family situation is reasonably stable (i.e. not in the middle of separation/divorce, parent has psychological issues themselves, or the child has major psychological issues that have not yet been addressed)
Families will participate in a few assessments. Based on the outcome of those assessments, the Triple P Team may determine whether this level of intervention will be beneficial for a family. If it is not going to be beneficial, and they recommend a higher level of care, such as family counseling that would involve more intense involvement, the team will make an outside counseling recommendation to the family and let the referring principal know.
Program Objectives:
Increase parents’ confidence in managing common behavior problems and developmental issues
Reducing parents’ use of coercive and punitive methods of disciplining children (focusing on pre-teaching desired behaviors, rather than just reacting to a bad behavior)
Improving parents’ communication and reducing parental stress
IF you are interested, please reach out to Mrs. Williams (Principal) or Ms. Dockery (Counselor), and they will get your information submitted to the team. Thank you!
📣UPDATES📣
Friday was an AMAZING day for our students AND staff!
The Book Character Parade was absolutely fantastic! Our young Patriots looked so cute and were so creative with their costumes in representation of their chosen book. In addition, our staff went all out with creativity and presentation, and it was so fun to witness! THANK YOU, Parents, for taking the time to go on Facebook to "like/love" your favorite staff dress-up team. Our CBI/SPED Team, with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, was our Parents' Choice Winner! We appreciate your participation and support with this!
The students who attended the First Nine Weeks Behavior Bash were blown away with excitement! They called it, "The BEST DAY EVER!" First Security Bank sponsored our Behavior Bash by donating their grill, hamburgers, hot dogs, and buns for the students. In addition to great food, our kiddos also enjoyed music, baggo, "plastic" ax-throwing, frisbee, football, and much more--including popsicles and ice cream sandwiches! What a GREAT TIME had by ALL!😍😍😍
📣WE NEED YOUR HELP!📣
HALLOWEEN:
Parents, please be reminded that students may not come to school in costumes on Tuesday (Halloween). In addition, Halloween is a Snack Day-- NOT a party day. Please adhere to the Snack Day guidelines. Thank you!
ATLAS INTERIM ASSESSMENT:
Parents, on November 9, our 3-5 students will take the ATLAS interim assessment for Science. This is the initial assessment for our new state assessment platform. The interims help prepare our students for the summative assessment given in the Spring. Therefore, it is imperative that students are not absent, late, or checked out early on this day. PLEASE adhere to this request as this assessment is secured and there is very specific protocol in place. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you so much for your support!
BEHAVIOR:
Please help us to encourage your child to perform at his/her fullest potential, both behaviorally and academically. Our Behavior Bash this past Friday was a BLAST! The students could not stop talking about it. Therefore, let's encourage our babies to work hard for the 2nd Nine Weeks Behavior Bash by not getting a white note or an office referral. Please talk to your child daily and encourage him/her to serve like a PATRIOT at all times!😀
ATTENDANCE:
Please help your child by ensuring he/she is on time for school, each and every day. It is important that students do not miss important instruction due to being habitually late. In addition, we have numerous incentives/rewards for our students/classes who have great attendance. Please don't hinder your child from achieving his/her attendance goals!
We truly appreciate your support and assistance!!!
