Happy Monday!

As we wrap up our October focus on Hygiene, we are looking beyond personal hygiene and thinking about the things and spaces we use every day.

Chromebooks, phones, water bottles, backpacks, desks, athletic equipment, headphones, and other frequently used items can collect plenty of germs along the way. Taking a few minutes to regularly clean our personal belongings and shared spaces is another simple way we can help keep ourselves and others healthy.

Clean it. Wash it. Don’t share it.

Thank you for helping us make wellness a priority throughout DPS #170. We hope our October reminders have provided a few simple ideas that can make a difference at school, at home, and throughout our community!

As we wrap up National School Bus Safety Week, we want to thank our drivers and support staff. School buses are an important part of the educational experience. For many students, the school day begins and ends with a ride on a bus. When you include sporting events and extracurricular activities, some students can be on a bus 5-6 times a day.

School Bus safety is also a shared responsibility. To the drivers taking the students to/from school, the aides directing them on/off the bus, the people sharing important bus safety messages, and anyone in between, this appreciation post goes out to all of you.

Happy Monday! Our October Hygiene focus continues this week with a reminder that the little things we do each day can have a BIG impact on how we feel and how we take care of ourselves. Brushing our teeth, bathing regularly, wearing clean clothes, keeping our hair clean, using deodorant, and staying hydrated are all simple habits that are part of a healthy daily routine. For our students especially, developing these habits helps build independence, confidence, and a foundation for lifelong wellness. Take a look at this week’s Wellness Committee flyer and help us continue encouraging healthy habits at home and throughout our schools!
