Chief Example for Others (CEO) Character Trait for March
Lifelong Learning and Personal Growth
Thrive Time Focus of the Week
For Thrive Time lessons this week, we’ll focus on flexible thinking and how it helps us set and accomplish meaningful goals. We’ll learn about the qualities of a good goal, discover what makes a goal SMART, and explore the skills we want to develop to grow even more. These lessons will build on what we’ve practiced about staying focused and having a growth mindset, helping us create clear plans for success!
Families, take time to talk about these ideas with your students at home as well! We can all practice these skills every day!

Digital Citizenship Message of the Month
Developing healthy habits goes beyond brushing teeth and eating vegetables. Our digital health matters too. Encourage your child to notice how technology affects their mind, body, and mood.
Try asking: “How do you feel after being online—tired, happy, grumpy, anxious, inspired?”
Supportive conversations and positive role modeling help families:
✅Take tech breaks
✅Balance screen time with offline activities
✅Create device-free times and spaces
Create or revisit your Family Media Use Agreement to get started. https://cnyns.org/4axzCXy Let’s build a healthy digital culture—together.
Lost and Found is FULL
Families, please, please check our Lost and Found area and take your students’ items home. We want your students to have their clothing and other items! Any items not claimed by Friday, March 13, will be donated.
Needed: Career Day Volunteers
