Hello Deer Park!
Our Thanksgiving Food Drive begins Monday! Below is a copy of the flyer that will be sent home with your students today. Please review the flyer and respond to this message with any questions. Our students work very hard each year make our food drive successful and we love the competition between classrooms. There will be one classroom winner from the primary hallway and one from the intermediate. Their pizza party will take place after Thanksgiving break.

Our 4th and 5th Grade Rangers had a fantastic day exploring at Reids! We couldn’t have asked for better weather to learn, connect, have fun, and enjoy nature together.

Some wise words of advice from our friends at Love and Logic regarding kids and technology:
Technology is a wonderful tool when used appropriately. It is amazing to me that I can use my phone to conference with coworkers and clients from almost anywhere in the world. I am also extremely thankful for the GPS system that guides me turn by turn to where I need to go. Without this high-tech resource, I’d be lost. Technology is awesome and I am a great fan of it.
However, technology can be terrible when misused. There is much evidence suggesting that heavy tech usage, such as with phones, internet, social media, video games, can increase the risk of anxiety, depression, impulsivity, substance abuse, and more. This is an especially worrisome problem with many of our kids today.
Although the basics of parenting remain the same, rapidly evolving technology involving cell phones and the Internet have left many parents wondering what limits are appropriate, how to hold their children accountable for misuse of technology, and how to help kids learn the decision-making skills required to make healthy technology choices when they leave home.
There is good news! Even though these modern issues can be very challenging, we can achieve positive outcomes by applying some age-old parenting truths:
Kids need limits
Limits are best set through actions instead of hollow threats
When kids make poor decisions, they need to experience natural or logical consequences
Consequences are always more effective when loving empathy is provided first
Our kids will learn how to live their lives by watching us
Listed below are a few examples of essential limits related to devices and technology:
You may have your tablet only if there is no arguing when I ask you to shut it off.
Feel free to have a cell phone when you can pay for the entire cost.
We allow kids to have their internet-connectable devices only if they check them in with us each night. We’ll return them in the morning only if there are no problems.
I’ve met plenty of good people who’ve ended up doing bad things on the Internet. That’s why your mom has all my passwords and is free to see my history. You may have this device only if you do the same. Everyone needs someone to hold them accountable.
I’m shutting my phone off so that I can give you 100% of my attention. Thanks for doing the same.
