Elementary School Principal
Erin Kirsch reported on Mindfulness, which she researched for her masters. When students have the right tools to succeed socially and emotionally, they can focus more on academics. When they learn to self-regulate their emotions and behaviors, they have stronger peer relations and continue it through school and life. She worked with her kindergarten class for four weeks. Results included using techniques not only at school but also at home. Mrs. Kirsch is recommending Mindfulness for others and she will continue it next year.
Ms. Opperman reported that in the fall staff will be meeting back to back days to support math curriculum and social/emotional issues. She’s appreciative for the partnership with the hospital for the back pack food program. PBIS is working; she’s seeing more focus on prevention and practice, which is leading to less office referrals. Several staff members and herself went to elementary schools in Liberty, MO to observe classes and she has also observed a kindergarten class in Creston that uses iPad/technology.
