Toys: We are seeing that students are bringing large squishy keychain type toys out to recess and into lunch. Please let them know that those are to remain at home or on their backpacks (those things go "missing" so I'd recommend they stay at home)

Trampolines and vibration plates: These cannot be used in classrooms where they are out and available for students to access. These tools may be used in a motor room under the guidance and supervision of an OT or COTA. If you currently have either of these items in their classrooms, please  remove the items. If you have questions about alternative ways to provide movement breaks or similar sensory input for their students, please let me know and I'll connect you with our site's occupational therapist, Victoria.

PBIS: Please continue to review all expectations with your students. BDR's can now be input into SWIS. If you need help with this please reach out to myself, Serena or Christy Isaac.

Park Use: If you are planning to take your class to the park, please communicate with your families in advance to share the plan and provide them with the opportunity to opt out. 

Emergency Contact: If there is ever a reason that you need to get a hold of me please save my number. Feel free to text Richard Prestedge cell# 916-529-3255
