The Middle School Minute

Are you preparing your scholar to make smart choices?

Decision-making is a key skill to work on with your scholar. Will your scholar be willing to say no to negative peer pressure and yes to positive engagement?

Provide opportunities.

• Scholars need opportunities to make simple decisions and work through the consequences of those decisions. Every decision has consequences no matter how small.

Provide a safe space for discussions.

• Inviting scholars to brainstorm about appropriate family discussions and decisions.

You are the perfect instructor.

• Invite your scholar to learn about the way you make decisions.

Encouragement.

• Teach your scholar that pre-planning, patience, and reflection are all part of decision making.

With Flu season upon us, it is important that we work together to keep our scholars and staff healthy. You can help prevent the spread of colds and flu viruses by following a few simple steps: 

• Cover noses and mouths with a tissue or the bend of your elbow when sneezing or coughing. Dispose of the tissue immediately and apply hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. 
• Wash hands frequently with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. 
• Remind scholars to avoid touching their face, mouth, nose, and eyes. 
• If your child has a fever, chills, cough, sore throat, body aches, keep him/her at home to prevent the spread of illness to others. 
• Most importantly, your child should be fever free (temp. below 100 degrees without Tylenol or Motrin) for at least 24 hours before returning to campus. 

Also, please make sure your scholar is eating a healthy breakfast and packing a lunch or ordering from My Hot Lunchbox. We are currently out of spare lunches and are running very low on snacks. We are asking for donations of the following items to help support our scholars:

·       Granola bars/ ready to eat soups or cups of noodles

·       Water bottles

Donations can be left in the front office labeled for the Trivium Prep Health Office. Thank you for the support in keeping our Knights healthy this holiday season. 

Thank you,

Christine Work, RN
