It's that time of year for students to explore their creative, artistic side for our annual PTA Reflections Contest. We hope you will encourage your student to participate!

Our new magical manner for the week is, "Control Your Volume." This manner reminds students that controlling our noise level shows we are considerate of others. 52 Modern Manners for Kids

Students have begun to earn their M this month in our MAGIC WPE LETTERing challenge. They are learning and practicing the importance of manners in creating an environment of respect, responsibility, safety, and caring.

We will continue to include this information during September. We are hoping students will create a plan by the start of 2nd term.

Please help your student come up with an idea for an Excellence Project for the year. It could be something they want to learn more about or a skill they would like to get better at. The sky is the limit! We want every student to experience the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that comes from putting effort into learning something new. We have included information about the project below. We have designed it to be open ended so that it can be as simple or complex as you and your child would like it to be.

Our DSD Student Services Department has facilitated amazing supports for our parents this year. This year's Mental Health Series for Parents offers parents unlimited access to live monthly sessions and recordings, as well as key takeaways from each topic. Each session is led by expert facilitators, providing ongoing support whenever needed.

There is also an "Ask a Therapist" live webinar series. This month's Ask a Therapist will be on Wednesday, September 18 at 6:00 p.m. See below for additional information.

Our Student Council will be collecting socks to donate to a homeless shelter for our Socktober Service Project.

Community Nursing Services will be at our school Monday, October 7 and Tuesday, October 8 from 3:30-7:00 p.m.
