• 你知道吗?? November 2017 (10th Edition)

  你知道吗? 那 after its successful initiation last year, the WDS Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program in 成绩 1-5 has recently begun again? 由苏西马德尔领导, WDS Social Worker and assisted in some classes by Amy Kirschenbaum, Girls PE Teacher (who 她也是一名社工), this program includes weekly sessions following a research-based curriculum 那 focuses on developing self-awareness and regulation strategies 那 support social emotional growth, applicable to the classroom, 学校及其他地方. In order to continue to integrate the SEL sessions into the fabric of each classroom, teachers are integral collaborators and reinforce concepts and strategies taught throughout the week.  Stay tuned for the parent educational session which will be scheduled in the winter to introduce the SEL program to parents and offer them related tools to use at home. 

   

  你知道吗? 那 as part of our ongoing efforts to focus on responsible digital citizenship, Dr. 阿德勒女士. 马德尔和太太. Ament met with each 中学 class to review in depth the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) 那 students and parents sign at the start of school 那 delineates the WDS guidelines for technology use? The lively discussion reinforced our awareness of the importance of this topic. Specific emphasis was focused on identification and prevention of cyberbullying and sending/receiving inappropriate photos and/or videos.

   

  你知道吗? 这一 WDS行为准则 includes guidelines about the use of 烦躁不安的工具 在学校? 一些学生, 但肯定不是全部, benefit from doing something with their hands in order to improve their focus, particularly during listening/discussion times. However, the current fidget toy fad is not helpful for effective learning. Fidget tools 那 are appropriate for school settings must meet certain criteria. They need to be noiseless, not distracting to others, and able to be manipulated without looking at them. We have several different kinds of school-approved 烦躁不安的工具 in Dr. 阿德勒的办公室. If a student might benefit from using one under certain circumstances, the student or parent must speak to the teacher, Dr. Adler, or the Assistant Principal. Students are not allowed to bring in and use during class their own fidget toys, including spinners.

   

  你知道吗? 那 we offer a range of programs to support the development of 执行能力 skills for WDS students? GoodStart provides organizational, 学习技能, and learning support for some 4^th 和5^th 年级学生 beginning at 8 am five days a week.  NextStep provides 执行能力 support two mornings a week for select students in 6^th 和7^th 年级. After school homework club provides the opportunity for students in 成绩 3-8 to complete homework and work on long term projects 以及测试准备 in a supervised setting with a focus on developing 执行能力 skills. If you are interested in any of these programs for your children, please let us know.
