Pinney Post

Start with Hello is an important social and emotional learning program developed out of the Sandy Hook tragedy. The program is dedicated to teaching students to be more socially aware of their peers. As children develop we want them to learn how to identify a student in need of a friend and act in a kind and compassionate manner. Click or see the attached picture for details of each day and what do wear.

This week students learned about the difference between making a disciplined (Above The Line) response versus a default (Below The Line) response. We know that our students’ brains are not fully developed, and therefore, their ability to control their impulses is still under construction!

By teaching students R-Factor we help them focus on what they can control and how to stay “disciplined” in their actions. We use words like intentional and on purpose when describing how we want students to respond to events, rather than being resistant or impulsive. While we know we all make mistakes, the more we can control our responses the more likely we are to achieve the outcomes we want.

Members of the Dublin City Schools district leadership team are hitting the road and joining the principal of every school for a co-hosted Community Conversation. These Community Conversation events will be levy-focused, providing an opportunity to learn facts and ask questions about the upcoming levy and bond issue. Our school’s Community Conversation event will be Tueseday, September, 26, at 6:00 in the Commons. We welcome everyone to come and be a part of this informative session. Together, let's make our community stronger through open dialogue and shared knowledge. See you there!

Our PTO is sponsoring a night at Leeds Farm. Your student should be bringing home a form to order tickets ahead of time. We also have opportunities to volunteer.

We believe everyone in our learning community has something valuable to offer our students and school. We are developing a directory of potential contributors who may be willing to be a guest speaker, collaborate on a learning project, etc. Please fill out the optional form below to let us know your interests, talents, and connections that you would be willing to share with our students and staff.

Pinney Palooza is scheduled for September 22, 5:00 - 8:00. The Jerome Band and Cheerleaders will kick us off at 5:15. Please consider volunteers for a time slot to help the event run smoothly.
