In March our scholars will learn Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw and the character trait of Cooperation (being responsible and doing your part).

Ask your student these questions at dinner this month:

• What helped your body today?
• What did you learn?
• Who did you connect with?
• What did you create or play?

Try at Home: walk together, read 10 minutes, or family game night.

Dinner Questions

• How did you help someone?
• Did you finish a job on your own?
• When did teamwork help?

Try at Home: 5‑minute family clean‑up or cook together.

Give a compliment, help without being asked, and use calm words.

Thank you for partnering with us!

At Malvern, student well-being is a top priority. Throughout the year, our counselor provides age-appropriate lessons that help students recognize “big” feelings, identify trusted adults, and practice coping strategies. Each elementary campus also displays the required “You Are Not Alone” poster so students know support is always available.

Our approach to suicide prevention focuses on helping students:

• Manage their emotions
• Understand that tough moments are temporary
• Notice when someone may need help
• Know who they can trust
• Use healthy coping skills
• Find support when they need it

Thank you for partnering with us to support the emotional health of every Red Hawk. Please review MISD’s Suicide Prevention Parent and Guardian Newsletter by selecting the button below.

• MISD requires every visitor/volunteer to report to the office to sign in and receive a visitor badge. At the camera outside of the school, please state your name, show your ID, and explain why you are here at school.

• A software system called “Hallpass School Visitor Management” is used to scan in visitors. A valid, unexpired state or government issued photo ID must be presented each time you visit, volunteer, or pick up a student. If you arrive on campus without your driver’s license, you will be asked to leave and return to campus when you have identification. A photocopy or photo on your telephone of your ID will not be accepted.

• MISD requires that volunteers complete a criminal background check every school year. If you plan to volunteer anywhere in the building or chaperone a field trip, please complete the required volunteer application.

MISD will not offer a grace period this school year for you to complete your annual background check. All background checks must be completed and approved before you can serve on campus.
