It's Easy to Recognize Teachers and School Employees
Game Changers: To recognize the game-changing work of Chesterfield County Public Schools employees, the school system recognizes Game Changers each month. Game Changers are those who step up to meet the needs of students; offer support and access to resources that assist their colleagues; provide an extra layer of support for families outside of the classroom; and who generally make a positive and sometimes life-changing difference in the lives of students, families and their colleagues. To recognize a Team Chesterfield Game Changer, complete this nomination form: bit.ly/CCPSgc.
Someone You Should Know: Someone You Should Know is a video series designed to share stories about interesting people working in Chesterfield County Public Schools. You can see the videos on the #oneCCPS YouTube channel (youtube.com/user/ccpsva). Nominate teachers and staff members by filling out the super-simple form at bit.ly/CCPSsomeone.

October is Bullying Prevention Month. Promote Respect is how our school division educates parents, staff and students about bullying prevention. It is a year-long program that focuses on proactive and positive interventions to teach expectations of respect and provides opportunities for students to practice those skills and make it a part of their daily routine.

Socktober
It's Socktober! This month the students of Midlothian Middle, led by the Student Council Association (SCA), will collect socks to donate to those who don't have them this winter. Students can bring new socks to DONATE all month long. They should be brought to Mustang Morning. We can't wait to see how many socks we can collect and how many people we can help!
