Hi All, 

First off, thank you very much for all the birthday wishes. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you are all doing to make sure that things are going smoothly and that students are feeling connected to their classmates and their wider school community. Extra recess was a blast, keep the paws coming! The more we prompt for and reinforce the behavior we want the more of it we see. 

Also, please remember if you say something, we mean it. For example, no talking during this transition. Stop. Re-Set. Practice until the transition is smooth and silent. I know this can be utterly exhausting however, it shows kids that we say what we mean. This applies in all settings. Another quick reminder: please be out and moving around a recess. Proximity and being within earshot of conversations eliminates a majority of recess snafus! Thank you to all who are getting their recess steps in.
