It was wonderful to see so many of you at Back to School Night last week!  If you were unable to attend, you can view the presentation HERE


Specials Spotlight – ART!

Hola from the Art Room, this is Miss M. and we are so excited to explore new and familiar cultures during National Hispanic Heritage Month! We will be creating art in response to our learning and inspired by some traditional forms of Hispanic Art. We look forward to sharing our amazing work on display around the building through November.

As always, please reach out if you would like to volunteer in the classroom, prepping student art for display, or displaying student artwork around the building.

Thank you kindly! lisa_merenius@dpsk12.net

Social Emotional Learning – SEL at Bromwell

Hey everyone Mr. Tay again!  This week we started lessons on self-regulation or self-control and how to manage our emotions and behaviors throughout the day.  We have begun building our toolboxes so that we have resources to use when we feel ourselves heading into the blue, yellow, or red zones.  This also requires us to know ourselves well enough to communicate our needs to others and advocate when we need to access a specific tool.  This is one of those skills that take a lifetime to build, so I’ll also talk about how safe adults, parents, guardians, etc., are here to help us reflect on how we feel when the words are out of reach.  As always thank you, and let me know if you have any questions.

Looking for something to do during your lunch break?  Come volunteer during our lunch/recess times!  When you arrive, check in at the front office, grab an orange vest, and then make the rounds in the lunchroom to help kids open things, stay focused on eating (save the sillies for outside!).  Outside, you might get asked to push a kid on a swing, referee a game, or have an existential conversation.  Here are the times:

ECE & Kinder: 10:45 – 11:35

First & Second: 11:10 – 11:55

Fourth: 11:30 – 12:15

Third & Fifth: 11:40 – 12:35
