Recess Supervision
Are you looking for an opportunity to support High Plains while also enjoying our great Colorado weather and the school’s awesome views and playground? Lunch recess supervision is a great way to do just that! You can visit with your child, get to know the other children in our school, and be a role model and support for kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. Lunch recess happens every day between 10:30am-1:30pm. Volunteers are welcome to do the entire three hours, an hour, every day, once a week, or any portion that works in your schedule. Please contact
Mrs. Feeney, danielle.feeney@tsd.org for details and to schedule your time.

Self Care
Each week we will present new activities that you may choose to use with your child. At school, we are using similar activities that will be presented as challenges within the classroom, and as each activity is completed students will be encouraged to document their achievement on a Bingo Board (located in the Bison Cafe). You might want to do this at home! When a line is completed, students at school earn fun perks (ask them about this!), and you may choose to incentivize this at home, as well.
Here are the challenges for this week:
FOCUS: SELF AWARENESS
Draw or list your current emotions.
Breathe deeply for 2 minutes, focusing on how you feel.
Read a story and chat about characters’ emotions.
Act out emotions for others to guess.
Take a walk, noticing your surroundings and feelings.
