LOWER SCHOOL STUDENTS CELEBRATE LANDING ON MARS |
|
To commemorate the recent momentous landing of the Perseverance rover on Mars, Lower School students joined together on Zoom to learn more about Mars and the rover, and to view the landing before enjoying a small treat from the galaxy—a milky way bar. In science class, students created a work of art featuring Mars and the Perseverance rover, and were challenged to build their own LEGO model of a rover that could land on Mars.

STRENGTH & BALANCE DESPITE STRESS & CHANGE
Q & A with guest Lynn Stadler, LMFT
Children and adults can easily get off track during times of stress and change. Problems with behavior, friends, family, teachers, schoolwork, and physical health indicate we're out of balance. Today we'll explore some ways we can help children get back on track—by making good contact, strengthening sense of self, and learning to identify and express emotions in safe and satisfying ways.
Host: Kim Valentine

LIVE WEBINAR ON APRIL 6: HOW OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER RUPTURES FAMILIES — AND HOW YOU CAN LEARN TO MANAGE IT
|
|
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is one of ADHD’s most common co-existing conditions with a 20-45% comorbidity rate, yet little is known about its causes and treatments. This lack of meaningful awareness and understanding is even more puzzling when you consider how ODD ruins the lives of so many children and their families.

THIS WEEK'S GRATITUDE GRAM |
|
This week's Gratitude Gram goes out to our all-star Technology team! Director of Technology Frederic Skrzypek, Instructional Integration Coordinator Nissa Hales, and Network Administrator Ladislav Laza keep both of our campuses up and running smoothly with their expertise, dedication, and innovation. This talented trio took the shift to remote learning in stride, ensuring that our students and teachers were supported during this challenging time. From network management and constant tech support for students and faculty alike to teaching students to code and how to use the internet responsibly (and so much more!), this team really can do it all. Our endless thanks go out to each one of you!
Read what their colleagues have to say below:
"Frederic always has a cheerful and prompt willingness to help with Tech issues."
"Frederic, Nissa, and Ladi....That's all I have to say, you three speak for yourselves and keep us all running!"
"Tip of the digital hats and hearts to Frederic, Ladi, and Nissa for keeping our electric boat afloat. You folks are the best."
"Frederic, Nissa, and Ladi - what would we do without you three?! You are keeping us going and put a smile on our faces through it all. We are so lucky to have such an amazing tech team at Laguna!"
"Nissa, thank you for supporting and guiding those of us who are teaching remote students!"
"Ladislav keeps us and our data safe and secure at all costs! He always reminds us to be on the lookout for phishing emails, to turn on two-factor authentication, and ALWAYS use strong passwords! :) We all appreciate you, Ladi!"
"Frederic! Thank you for the endless laughter and lightness you bring to everyone you interact with! Laguna is SO much better because of YOU!!!"
