2024-25 Student Board Representative Advisory Group - Apply Today!
Hello! My name is Lara Pimentel and I am serving as the Student Representative for Lindbergh’s Board of Education for the 2024-25 school year. Representing students from across our district is important to me because I want to ensure that students get a say in their education experience. That is why I am looking for students currently in grades 4-8 to participate in next year’s Student Board Representative Advisory group.
Each month, I will visit a different school in the district and talk to a small group of students. These short meetings take place during the school day for elementary schools, and directly after school for middle schools. In these meetings, I ask questions to the group of students and gather feedback regarding their experiences at Lindbergh. We look at what our schools are doing well and which areas could be improved upon.
From there, I share key information with the Board of Education and provide suggestions on ways to address student concerns.
So, if you are interested in representing your classmates, please fill out this form before Friday, Sept. 6!
Kennerly Recess Expectatiois
Having game expectations at recess is important for several reasons:
Promotes Fair Play: Expectations ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of how the game should be played, which helps prevent disagreements and promotes fairness. This encourages children to play together harmoniously.
Safety: Expectations often include guidelines that keep children safe, such as no rough play or limits on certain actions. This reduces the risk of injuries and ensures that everyone can enjoy recess without getting hurt.
Teaches Accountability: Following expectations teaches children about accountability and the importance of adhering to agreed-upon guidelines. It helps them understand the consequences of their actions if they don’t meet the expectations.
Encourages Inclusion: Clear expectations make it easier for all children to participate, including those who might not be familiar with the game. This ensures that everyone feels included and can enjoy recess together.
Enhances Enjoyment: When everyone understands and meets the expectations, games tend to be more organized and enjoyable. This leads to a more positive experience for all participants.
Having game expectations at recess helps create a structured and enjoyable environment where children can learn, play, and grow together. The following graphics show our new gameplay expectations for recess.
