Conscious Discipline

Four of us attended a workshop this week on Conscious Discipline. It was very powerful and we came back with many ideas and lots of energy for taking the next step as a school on the path to being a Conscious Discipline school.

In the days to come you will see the beginnings of "Safe Spaces" throughout the school. There are many reasons to create these spaces, some of which will be shared with you at Back to School Night on September 30th from 7:00-8:30. We will also be emailing you information this week about some of the ways that you can support the teachers in creating these spaces.

For those of you reading along with us, we have decided to spend another month as a staff on the first chapter of the workbook, Conscious Discipline, called Composure. There is information about Composure on the main school bulletin board that is for you to take home and read. For those of you not yet familiar with Conscious Discipline, it is the work of Dr. Becky Bailey and you can order a copy of the book from either Amazon, or from us directly.

As you know, Monday begins picture week. Many of you have asked us questions about Big Star Studios and their policies and procedures. Rather than try to answer them ourselves, we asked Garry and Emily to compile a Q & A for you.

We hope that you all have a wonderful week!
