Vision of the Graduate: Collaboration
At Middlebrook Elementary, we are proud to recognize and celebrate students who demonstrate Collaboration, one of the key skills highlighted in the Trumbull Public Schools Vision of the Graduate. Throughout our school community, we look for students who work cooperatively toward common goals, value the ideas and perspectives of others, share responsibilities, and contribute positively to a team. Whether working with classmates, supporting a peer, or participating in a group activity, we can accomplish more when we work together. We are excited to celebrate our Mountain Lions who show us the power of collaboration all year long, but especially during the month of November.

Growth Mindset Recognition
During the month of October, we recognized students who demonstrated Growth Mindset. Students showed that they can do hard things when they put their minds to it! We are so proud of their grit and determination. For the month of November, we will be highlighting the attribute of Collaboration. At home, find ways to discuss teamwork in all its forms: sports, game play, cooking and so much more!

Trumbull Police and Our Community
https://www.trumbull-ct.gov/1259/Sensory-Awareness-System
Trumbull Police Department recently partnered with Linked, Autism Safety Project. Linked is a group that works with over 40 police departments throughout the state. It is a way for loved ones to register those with special needs in a secure system. By doing this it allows the Police Department to have a little insight on those in the household prior to responding. A notification would be added to the residence giving us quick information, whether it is as simple as "7 year old boy, nonverbal, afraid of dogs, overstimulated by flashing lights" or as in depth to detail elopement destinations and photos of the individual in case they leave the residence. When families share how best to respond to their residence it allows first responders to help in the most effective way possible without adding more chaos to the situation, whether it's for a simple fire alarm or a dog barking, it is a great resource to help facilitate a positive interaction.
