PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENT/CONSTRUCTION

Hello Long Meadow Families,
 
We wanted to share upcoming drainage improvements to the area near the playground.  The improvements/construction will not impact the playground equipment and the ability to use it during the school day.  The project will begin March 29th and is projected to end April 16th, with the majority of the work taking place during spring break.  During spring break, please do not visit the playground.  The scope of the project is to regrade the slope area near the playground where the runoff from heavy rains runs down the hill into the school near the gymnasium.  The re-grading included a 3’ high retaining wall to control the slope.  Underground drainage will be added to divert the drainage into the existing storm water system.  There will be a fence on top of the retaining wall to prevent kids from jumping off the retaining wall.  The sidewalk leading to the playground will be widened significantly to provide a clearer path and better access to the playground in lieu of the students running up and down the hill.
 
Throughout the process and as we get into the project, safety will continue to be our primary focus.  During the construction, there will be a 6’ safety fencing surrounding the project along with a mesh covering of the fence.  Any gates will be locked during the project.  Any movement of construction equipment will take place outside of school hours.   The majority of the actual construction will take place during spring break.  As a school, we will connect with the contractor and construction workers daily to ensure good communication and safety.  During recess, staff will be positioned to ensure a focus of safety regarding the construction area.   

Overall Timing Of The Project: March 29th-April 16th
Construction Fencing: March 29th
Improvements/Construction: March 29th-April 2nd
Restoration of sod/grass: April 2nd – 16th


If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Casey Wescott.

POSITIVITY PROJECT AT LONG MEADOW

Next Week's Positivity Character Strength: Wild Card/Make-Up

Picture
Parents and Guardians,
 
We are so excited to be partnering with the Positivity Project again this year.   
Next week, all children (grades K-5) will introduced Positivity characteristic is a wild card/make-up. 
 
This year the Positivity project has developed a family resource connection so that you can be part of Positivity in Action at home.   We have provided the one page character card and age appropriate video based on grade.  Feel free to look at the other resources we well.  These resources will give families the opportunity to continue enriching discussions at home. The family link will include the definition of the character trait we are learning, a short video to watch as a family, and sample discussion questions to continue learning about Positivity in Action at home. ​

 What is the Positivity Project?
The Positivity Project, also referred to as P2, uses 24 character strengths to help students build positive relationships.  Positive relationships are the cornerstone to health, happiness and resilience.  Each week all children in grades kindergarten through fifth grade will be introduced and explicitly taught the same character strength.  Everyone in our Long Meadow family will be provided with the same definition for each character strength.  This common language along with classroom instruction tailored to each grade level, will help to provide students with a deeper understanding of each character trait.  Children will soon be able to “see what the character trait looks like” through the use of videos, books, and discussions.  Children will be able to identify character traits in themselves and others. 
 
We are looking forward to working with families joining with us putting Positivity in Actions. Please see the schedule below.

Long Meadow Newsletter
This year has been the year of the parent. Parents have learned to put on a different cap for different times of the day; whether that is their work cap, their childcare cap, their teacher cap... the list goes on. Many times, parents have needed to wear all their hats at once to meet the daily demands of parenting, along with supporting their children as they learn from home. This month’s newsletter is dedicated to our wonderful parents. We must remember that in order to fill our children’s cups, ours must be full first. Please refer to the links below focusing on self care, reducing stress, and promoting mental health.​
​
     Self Care Strategies for Parents
     How to Take Care of Your Mental Health During Coronavirus
     Engaging Your Senses: Practicing a Guided 5-Senses Meditation
     Gratitude Meditation (Strengthen Happiness)
