Bogan Weekly News

Happy Friday!

Spirit week was a BLAST! Spirit weeks bring such an exciting energy to the building and we were so amazed by how creative the outfits/costumes were! Thank you to everyone who participated.

This month has been full of meaningful learning and positive moments in our classrooms. Students are not only developing their skills but also showing respect, responsibility, and kindness for each other. We are proud of their hard work and grateful for the support you provide at home to help them thrive.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Kirsten Cannon, Principal

The PAX Good Behavior Game is a research-based classroom strategy that helps children make positive choices, and collaborate with others. It supports a calmer, more focused learning environment by promoting kindness, teamwork, and respectful behavior.

I will update the PAX Student Calendar every month that you can use at home!

As a reminder, you are able to add funds to your student's lunch account through the PaySchool Central. If your student's account reaches -$50 it will be rolled into your school fees. Please be mindful and keep your student's account current.

Here are the lunch menus for September and October!

Hello parents and guardians!

It has been a busy month in the counseling office! We officially have several weeks of our classroom Second Step lessons completed. Each grade is working on different skills, from how to pay attention and limit distractions, to what happens in our brain as we are learning, and how to set goals and create plans to achieve them. Students have been engaged and love participating during these classroom lessons!

We also have some lunch bunches up and going. Students have been asking often to have lunch in my office and it’s such a fun, casual way to connect with the students and talk with them about their interests and activities. Some students have been asking on a regular basis to have lunch with me, so when those consent forms for groups come home, chances are your student is excited to have lunch in a smaller setting with their friends in my office. If you ever have questions about those forms, please let me know!

We continue to work on our building wide PBIS expectations and have been focusing on the word honesty for the month of September. Students are having great conversations and discussing why it’s important for us to be honest and how they can encourage their friends to be honest as well. They are also enjoying earning Bogan Brave tickets for their honesty, and for being kind, safe, and responsible.

As a reminder, if your student needs anything at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I can be reached at the following contact information:

Email: heidelh@talawanda.org

Phone: 513-273-3460

There is also a Google Form you can complete and I can follow up with details on support for your student.

On November 21st, I am planning a school wide career and spark day for our students. This day is an opportunity for people to come in and share about their careers and passions with the students. So far, I have commitments from various fields such as farming, engineering, electricians, cake decorating and more. If you have a career or a passion you’d love to come in and share with our students, please fill out THIS Google Form and I will be in touch with more details!
