Respect For All
Here at P.S. 13 to do our part to make sure everyone feels safe and included we put a strong emphasis on Social Emotional Learning in each classroom. During remote learning the school counselors will be presenting a few digital lessons for students. The first lesson is required for all students to participate in. It is being shared the week of October 26th for all grades. This lesson includes a video of story being read from one of our counselors and related questions presented through a nearpod lesson. This allows students to complete the activities at any time that works for them. We encourage you to participate in this learning with your children at home.
Check out the links below to learn more about the Respect For All Initiative from the Department of Education.

Wellness Week
October 5th-9th we will celebrate our first wellness week. We plan to continue celebrating these throughout the school year. We are viewing wellness through the lens of self care. Each celebration will focus on a different domain of Self Care (Physical, social, emotional, mental/spiritual). We want to teach and model for the students how to be independent and take care of themselves so they can lead healthy lives.
We are going to kick start this series with the physical domain. This means we will be providing students with activities to eat healthy, get active, wash their hands and wear their mask properly. The clusters and guidance department have created assignments for students related to this domain in their classrooms. Make sure your students are going to each of these rooms at least once a week to complete their assignments.
We want to ensure both our in person and virtual students are engaged in Wellness Week. We want everyone to feel connected and part of the P.S. 13 school community even though we may be apart right now. Keep an eye out in your child's google classrooms and you can join in on the celebrations as well. The physical education fitness challenge might be something you want to participate in with your child.
Be well everyone!
As always reach out to us if you have any questions.
