Staff & Parents

Published

So for my job eval as part of my goals an intervention of my goal I have to send out a parent news letter with healthy tips and ideas. I am in middle school 7&8 grade. Ideas on what should I include? Do you have any examples I could see? Also I have to include healthy tips for staff members for their own health and how to keep students healthy while at school. Any thoughts?

While it may open a Pandora's box, I feel like that is a prime time to educate parents on the differences between hormone driven emotions and actual psych problems (depression, anxiety, etc) rearing its ugly head. The kids don't know what's going on either way.... Can you collaborate with an adjustment counselor/guidance counselor or school psychologist?

Find some canned message, submit it and forget it...because the majority of newsletters go straight into the trash can.

I do a monthly newsletter as well and tie in what is hot that month. Such as, October is Dental Health Month so I have included dental hygiene tips and such. Look at what "awareness" coincides with the month you are working on. Breast Cancer Awareness month, you can include how and when to do breast exams and show statistics. My staff love it and they actually read it!
