Self-Control- Choosing to do what’s best even when you don’t want to

See It:

One of the easiest times for us to lose self-control is snack time. Some of us tend to make poor choices and eat food we know is not the healthiest for us. Unfortunately, many of us also lack self-control with our temper, with how we treat others, and making risky choices that could be very dangerous for ourselves or others.

In this short video, Cookie Monster learns a few strategies to develop self-control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0YDE8_jsHk .

He realizes that self-control can be accomplished, even when it is difficult. When we develop self-control, not only can we make better food choices, we can also make choices that will help us with the Big 3. Self-control can help us consistently Make Smart Decisions, Treat Others Right, and Maximize Our Potential.

Be It:

Make a list of times when self-control is toughest. Ask your family to help you come up with a list and ask them to help you show self-control. Some good ideas might be setting goals to limit screen time, responding with kindness, sticking to a bedtime, eating healthy foods, listening and following directions at school, developing an exercise program. Try to set some goals and monitor your progress as you practice self-control.

While communication has been shared at the district level, we wanted to be sure to remind Creekside parents that cell phones and other devices that connect to the internet (smartwatch, texting devices, tablets) are to be turned off during the school day.

Students will be allowed to have cell phones on campus. However, they are expected to be “away for the day” in backpacks and turned off to prevent distractions. The cell phone policy update applies to all MISD classrooms, hallways, restrooms, cafeterias, and other school property during the school day.

The more common device we see at the elementary level is a smart watch/Apple watch device. Please note students are not permitted to have these turned on, therefore it is not necessary for them to wear them during the school day.

Montgomery ISD has announced its policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for children served under the current income eligibility guidelines. Each school/site or the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by anyone on request.

Starting on July 16, 2024 Montgomery ISD will begin distributing letters to the households of the children in the district about eligibility benefits and any actions households need to take to apply for these benefits. Applications also are available at 20774 Eva St. Montgomery, TX 77356 or at your child’s campus starting the week of July 22, 2024
