Here is My Go-To Pumpkin Bread Recipe. I hope you enjoyed the pumpkin cookies in last week’s email. If you didn’t try making them, I highly recommend that you do.

5. Digital Citizenship and Well-Being
It is essential that we take an active role in educating our students and partner with parents about responsible digital citizenship. This affects our students’ safety and well-being in an age of smartphones and social media.
Here is a letter with more information.
Here are some key points to discuss with your children.
-
Respect for Others: Emphasize the importance of treating others with respect and empathy. Encourage them to consider how recording a fight can be hurtful and humiliating for those involved.
-
Legal Consequences: Make them aware of the potential legal consequences of recording fights or other personally identifiable information that may be viewed as being an accessory to violence or invasion of privacy.
-
Impact on Mental Health: Explain how sharing and watching violent content can negatively impact their mental health and desensitize them to violence.
-
Digital Responsibility: Teach them about responsible smartphone and social media usage, including reporting violent content rather than sharing it.
-
Being an Upstander: Encourage your child to be an upstander rather than a bystander. If they witness a fight or harassment, they should seek help from an authority figure rather than recording it.
-
Peer Pressure: Discuss the dangers of succumbing to peer pressure or the desire for social media attention. Help them understand that their worth is not determined by likes, shares, or comments on a video.
-
Empathy and Kindness: Promote empathy and kindness in their interactions both online and offline. Remind them of the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
6. Culture Climate Survey
Thursday, Oct. 5th students will take the ASD Culture, Climate, and Connection Survey for the 2023-2024 school year in their Jet Time. The purpose of the survey is to help adults improve the learning environment in order for all students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Please see last week’s email for more details.
7. Upcoming Dates to Remember
Let’s make it a great week!
Sincerely,
Courtney Johnson
