NOTES FROM MRS. FOLEY:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Click Here to read an article entitled, "Why Children Aren't Behaving, And What You Can Do About It" by Cory Turner recently posted on the Mindshift website. This article discusses how we can help kids to learn self-regulation skills. The three main points include:
1. Provide more unstructured, unsupervised/lightly supervised play for children to learn conflict resolution and decision making skills.
2. Set limits to screen time and social media exposure. Click Here for recommended screen time exposure by age.
3. Give your child age appropriate chores and prioritize contribution to their neighborhood, family, and community. Click here for a list of age appropriate chores.
Thank you and please contact your son/daughter's School Counselor or School Social Worker with any questions or need for support.

FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD:
HSSD Graduate Profile: Collaborator
Throughout the year, the Board of Education monitors student performance in HSSD Graduate Profile seven characteristics. At the December 9, 2019 Board meeting, we discussed the characteristic collaborator and progress being made to develop our students as helpful and active participants who share responsibility while working toward a common goal. Students have many opportunities to collaborate and be part of teams in classrooms, in music, physical education, and art, in athletics, and in a variety of extra-curricular activities. Through these experiences, they grow in their abilities to collaborate with their peers, as well as adults. Students learn to respect and encourage others, to adapt to changes, and to be reliable teammates. We talked with teachers from multiple grade levels successfully integrating technology into lessons and engaging students in becoming active and social learners, through co-use. When co-using a device, students are working with others to figure out how to navigate the content learning within the software, which can lead to higher-order questioning, predicting, inquiry, and other cognitive benefits from this social construction of knowledge.
Seeing our students intentionally developing HSSD Graduate Profile characteristics is exciting and rewarding because we know they are being prepared to thrive in our complex and rapidly changing world. For more information about the Howard-Suamico School District, Board of Education, please visit our website at www.hssdschools.org, or for more information on this article, contact school board member listed below:
