Greenview Knolls Elementary
A Week-January 8, 2024- Weekly Update #15
Dearest GKES Families,
One of the things we have been working on with our children is how to work through challenges and manage big emotions that may pop up throughout the day during social interactions with peers and adults.
Managing conflict with peers is a skill we teach our young learners consistently. We need your help with helping our young learners make the connection between what is expected at home and what is expected at school so we are all aligned leading to student success. Thank you for your support.
Please join us on January 25, 2024 @6 :00 p.m. for Coffee with the Principal. This month's topic will be social and emotional supports for our students featuring a presentation by our Coordinator of Mental Health, Mrs. Schrader and School Social Worker, Mrs. Broom.
Coffee with the Principal will be held monthly staring in January 2024(based on stakeholder survey data, we will alternate monthly meetings to include a morning and evening time). Meet with Principal Quick-McQueen to talk about our school and how to best support our OWLS. Join us for informal discussions on all things related to Greenview Knolls Elementary School. We will have a monthly focus along with conversations regarding your child's education and this time will serve as a Q & A to answer general parent questions and address general concerns. We hope you will consider joining us.
