Mindful Message from Ms. Palmer, Social Worker & Counselor
Technique: The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Exercise
This is a simple and effective mindfulness technique you can use anytime to bring yourself back to the present moment:
5: Look around and name five things you can see.
4: Name four things you can touch.
3: Name three things you can hear.
2: Name two things you can smell.
1: Name one thing you can taste. Encourage students (and yourself) to use this exercise when feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
Responsible Use Agreement for Technology
Responsible Use Agreement for Technology
Parents are asked to sign the Responsible Use Policy Agreement (RUP) each school year in order to promote continued awareness regarding the expectations of responsible use of technology by all students in our district.
Parents should also review the one-to-one guidelines for the use of Chromebooks. These rules and regulations are to ensure that students and their parents/guardians are aware of the responsibilities involved with the use of a district-owned Chromebook. In general, this requires efficient, ethical, and legal utilization of all technology resources. Violations of these rules and guidelines will result in administrative review and potential discipline. Chromebooks and district technology accounts are District property, and as such, may be subject to inspection at any time. Appendix D is a document that is specific to the expectations for the care of the district-issued Chromebook. Parents sign this agreement each school year in the forms section of PowerSchool.
Please be sure to log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal account to access ALL necessary paperwork to begin the 2024 school year!
