Our Sixth Graders had a fun day at Audubon Refuge for Eco Ed Day!

Elementary Families: Tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 6, 2023) is our Vehicle Fair! We will be outdoors for 1 hour in the afternoon. Please dress your students appropriately for the weather. Also, please send your children in clothing appropriate for our changing weather each day. Layers are good! We typically go outside for 1/2 hour recess each day, and students can get cold if they are not wearing sweatshirts/jackets or long pants this time of year. Thank you for your help!

When it comes to mental health, it's never too early to teach your children how to take care of themselves, and it's never too late to start a conversation with your teen. Check out these resources to help support your child's mental health. All Bob Callies elementary students receive weekly social emotional learning lessons from our school counseling. These lessons teach our children valuable skills to help them develop healthy relationships, succeed academically, and improve their own mental health. This month, our counselors are collaborating in providing resources to help you keep the conversations about mental health going at home for any ages PreK-Grade12. When students see all adults in their life talking comfortably and positively about mental health, they will recognize it as an important part of their own health. Starting early with regular conversations about recognizing and managing emotions will help your whole family prioritize taking care of their mental health, and it gives family members the tools to support each others' mental health, too. https://www.onoursleeves.org/mental-wellness-tools-guides/emotional-development/why-teach-kids-about-coping-with-emotions https://www.newportacademy.com/resources/mental-health/mental-health-conversations/ https://www.newportacademy.com/resources/well-being/mental-wellness/?psafe_param=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=NA_leads_performancemax&utm_term=&kpid=go_cmp-17884784088_adg-_ad-__dev-c_ext-_prd-&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9fqnBhDSARIsAHlcQYQflpbf0DGiJv_S_v0LJBRSMfR6_lGSZcUnPkw7KbNCkI3WCE5-MRUaAi0lEALw_wcB
