Positive Discipline Tool of the Week
|
Try a silent (secret) signal. (Kids love the secret part-especially when they have helped create it.) Creating silent signals can be part of "taking time for training" (another great tool card). The silent signal illustrated on this card is to point to your watch when you have agreed (together) on a specific time that something should be done. Remember to smile while you are pointing.

Car pool has been running smoothly so far. Thank you for following all the procedures. Some reminders to help: morning carpool begins at 8:50 and ends at 9:10 so that teachers can return to their classrooms as soon as possible; always remain in your car - we will get your child out and we are never bothered by a crying child. During afternoon carpools you MUST have a hangtag to pick up. This includes walk ups too. If you do not have the tag with you please park in the lot and walk in to show your ID at the front office. Once your child is in the car please wait to buckle them until you can pull forward closer to the dumpster. This allows more cars to pull into the line. If you need additional hangtags for others on your pick list please see Emily in the front office. Additional tags are $2.
