Chatting online can feel just like talking to someone in person, but it's actually quite different. It's all because of something called the "online disinhibition effect," which makes us more likely to share/communicate differently than if in person.
The Olympia Transition program went to Oly West to Ms. Patton's class to start a monthly partnership of book bookies. Our theme for October was Halloween. OTP students read a couple books with their buddy & then we read Crankenstein as a whole group & talked about coping skills we can use when we feel cranky. We love building relationships among the district! 🩵

If you notice your kid getting pulled into digital drama, help them take a break. They might need some help setting limits. Putting devices to bed at a specific time, plus breaks for mealtimes and face-to-face connection, can help kids recharge.
At tonight's New Teacher Academy, veteran teachers from across the district came together to share their best practices for a successful classroom environment and student learning. The theme of conversation was that "We are all in for our students!"
Join us tomorrow Wednesday (October 23) for a Spaghetti Dinner prior to the Fall Choir Concert! Enjoy a meal! Pick up some Simply Sweet Cakes cupcakes and some Olympia swag! Try a lotus drink!
