    Kittery replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Ugh, I go through this internal struggle everyday! My kids are pill happy as well, wanting an ibuprofen for every little thing. I HATE that my district allows us to stock and admin OTC meds. I...

    Good morning all! I'm crazy and looking for opportunities to interact with kids out of the office. Besides puberty talks. I just feel like I need to do something besides the day to day stuff. What do...

    Kittery replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I have a box that the girls drop anonymous questions in. There are pre- and post- tests that P&G has and I usually go through those, but I think this year I'm going to liven it up with a Jeopardy...

    Emergency Response Plan

    Kittery posted a topic in School

    SNs, talk to me about your emergency response plan (a school "code blue," if you will.) Believe it or not, we don't have anything formalized here, and I'm meeting with admins soon to discuss it. At my...

    Anyone ever have to address the "choking game"?

    Kittery posted a topic in School

    I know it resurfaces every now and then. I don't think it's widespread here at the moment, but I'm thinking I might be asked to address it. Thanks for any

    Anyone ever have to address the "choking game"?
