Week of 3/1/2021Registration Problems? Try this..
1: When students are entering in their classes, sometimes in red on the side will say “does not meet pre-req” have them IGNORE this. It’s a glitch that we can’t remove but does not mean anything. 2: Some students are unable to enter their courses due to a synergy issue. When this happens please have them follow the below process as this seems to usually take care of the problem. Do the following. Select the = next to their name and pick reset. Select the = again and change it to “Contains” (see picture below) Then use the course ID to search for the class. (Less is more) |

Part II- Our Focus this week: Mindfulness: What do we do to deal with our stress?
It is hard to stay effective and make decisions during a crisis. Often, when we try to make decisions or take actions during a time of distress, we make situations worse because emotions are running high and decisions are made without truly thinking them through.
It is important to figure out how to put stressful thoughts aside at times and make rational decisions. We are going to explore one way to distract our mind so we can make well thought out decisions.
Try these techniques:
A-activities
C-contributing
C-comparisons
E-emotions
P-pushing away
T-thoughts
S-sensations
This is a mnemonic device created by Dr. Marsha Linehan out of the University of Washington. It is a tool to help you remember the different ways we can distract ourselves during extremely emotional events to remain effective in our decision-making skills and stay in Wise Mind. Wise mind is when we are balancing both emotion and reason at the same time.
These skills are specifically helpful to implement only during times when you are so overwhelmed by emotions that it is not effective to operate during the day or when you are in a situation where it is inappropriate to fully experience distressing emotions.
Study these techniques and write down examples that might work for you.
Technique
What is it?
Examples of how you might implement this tip when stressed:
Activities
What are some activities that help distract you?
Contributing
Comparing how you are feeling now to a time when you were doing worse.
Emotions
Try to elicit the opposite emotion of what you are feeling. For example, if you are feeling sad, you may watch a funny TV show
Pushing Away
Pushing the painful situation out of your mind temporarily.
Thoughts
Replacing your thoughts with things like puzzles, counting numbers, or working on a coloring book.
Intensifying other Sensations
Having an intense sensation can take your mind off of the emotional pain.
Take a look at a video that explains what that sixth technique, changing your thoughts, might look like.

After-Video Questions
Where did you see people in the video appreciate others?” Where did you see people in the video show courtesy to others? Where did you see people in the video give credit or praise?” |
We often times shy away because we don’t know how people will respond to our Kindness. This is where you really start to strengthen your Kindness muscle, by doing things that are good yet make us uncomfortable. Make it a goal to push through the awkwardness because deep down, people crave Kindness.
Keeping in mind what you saw, take some time to think about five “kind” things you could do for your family this week and list them below:

Today, we will look at the last four: Selflessness, Forgiveness, Humility, and Commitment.

Part 2 What is Character?
As we begin looking at building our Character, it is important that we agree on what we are working on! Character can look like a lot of things, but we are going to focus on what we call the Eight Essentials of being CharacterStrong. These are eight traits that help us be more intentional and consistent in our relationships. Today, we will look at the first four.
While you are reading these definitions, pull out one word or phrase that stands out to you as being interesting, important, or thought-provoking. You should also be ready to articulate why you chose that word or phrase. (James C. Hunter’s The World’s Most Powerful Leadership Principle: How To Become a Servant Leader)

You should also be ready to articulate why you chose that word or phrase. (James C. Hunter’s The World’s Most Powerful Leadership Principle: How To Become a Servant Leader)
PatienceTo show self-control or impulse control. A habit must be developed by responding from our principles rather than urges in order for us to be effective leaders. In short, we must get our impulses under control. We must get the head (values) in charge of the heart (emotions). Patience and self-control are about being consistent and predictable in mood and actions. Are you a safe person? Easy to be with? Approachable? Can you handle contrary opinion? Criticism? Acting out on anger and passion and violating the rights of others is inappropriate and damages relationships. Patience and self-control are choices.
HonestyTo be free from deception. Trust, which is built by honesty and integrity, is the glue that holds relationships together. Honesty with people is also the tough side of love and brings balance to love. Honesty is about clarifying expectations for people, holding people accountable, being willing to give the bad news as well as the good news, giving people feedback, being consistent, predictable, and fair. In short, it’s behavior that is free from deception and dedicated to the truth at all costs. Another form of honesty is being free from duplicitous behavior like gossip, backstabbing, and pairing. Assertive people are willing to tell the truth whether that truth is good news or bad news; their behavior is open and direct yet respectful.
|
KindnessTo give attention, appreciation, and encouragement to people; to display common courtesy to others. Kindness requires us to reach out to others, to extend ourselves, even to people we may not be particularly fond of. This includes extending ourselves for others by appreciating them, encouraging them, being courteous, listening well, and giving credit and praise for efforts made. People need to be appreciated and listened to. Common courtesy is doing the little things like saying please; thank you; I’m sorry, I was wrong. Little things like being the first one to say, “Good morning,” in the hallway. Kindness is the WD-40 of human relationships.
RespectTo treat people like they are important. Everyone is capable of respecting others. Respect isn’t earned, it is given. Respectful people choose to treat all people like important people, even when they behave poorly or “don’t deserve it.” Everyone is important. Every person and every job is worth as much as any other person and any other job. Leaders give respect by delegating responsibilities to others so they can grow and develop. In doing so, they demonstrate trust and build trust. By giving respect and trust, they get it back. Respectful people show the same respect to all people regardless of the status or position of those people.

Week of 10/5/2020: Parent Conferences / Zoom Changes
Advisory Notes/Reminders
Parent conferences are 10/19/2020 and 10/26/2020 More information on signing up for times coming soon. Check your Grades Use StudentVue for grade checks Zoom Updates "Moving forward, our guidance is to have all students (and staff) on district Chromebooks log into the Zoom App and leave it open. Generally, this login only needs to be done once. The critical step is to keep the Zoom App open all day. Starting Friday (10/9/2020), if students close the app completely and click a Zoom meeting link, it will open Zoom but it will not let them into the meeting. It’s an easy fix though. - Close the Zoom app, - click the icon to open the Zoom app, - give it a second to login automatically, - and then click the Zoom link again. This time, it will let them into the meeting." Robert Silva, Direction of Technology and Information Services. |
