October is ADHD Awareness Month, a time to learn more about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and how we can better support students and families. ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood, and it can affect attention, impulse control, activity level, organization, and executive functioning. Children with ADHD may experience challenges with focus, managing impulses, following multi-step directions, or staying organized.
It is time to think about Halloween celebrations. Assumption School has guidelines we hope will promote community and respect. Remind your students of their audience in the school (students, teachers, parents, community members).
As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping our school community safe and prepared, we are making a small but important change to how we stock our classroom emergency “comfort food” buckets. This year, instead of relying on class-wide food donations, we're asking each student to bring their own non-perishable “comfort snack bag.” Due October 21.
