Hello Wayland Middle School Families!

As we step into March, we celebrate our students’ hard work and growth experienced over the past two trimesters. This is a crucial time to stay focused, maintain good habits, and finish the year strong.


With exciting events ahead and learning in full swing, we appreciate your partnership in keeping students engaged. Please stay connected, support their progress, and reach out if you need anything.


Respectfully,

Rachel Cimek

What is Courage?

Courage is the ability and strength to face something that may be difficult or challenging. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather perseverance in the presence of fear and the willingness to stand up for what is right or to try something new even though it may be uncomfortable or uncertain.

Why focus on Courage?


  • Courage encourages engagement. Courage helps students raise their hand, participate, try new things, and voice their opinions.
  • Courage builds self-confidence. Courage is the choice to act. By doing something, students increase their belief in themselves and their ability to do difficult or challenging things.
  • Courage can help reframe a negative. When something does not go as planned or a student gets upset about a mistake or failure, courage can help reframe the event in a positive light.

Clayful

This week’s journal, The fear cycle, helps students recognize how avoiding fears can make them grow bigger - and how taking small steps toward what scares us can build confidence instead!

Coaching is available Monday - Friday 8am - 10pm. Download the Clayful app or go to chatwithclayful.com.
