The Rockin’ Report from the Desk of Dr. Windish

This school year is already ROCKin’ into December and coming up on the halfway mark . It’s a great time to reflect on all that we have done and accomplished as a school and a school

community already this year. We fundraised, through our PTA and the Comet Challenge, enough to not only support PTA throughout the year, but also purchase some Virtual Reality

headsets and devices. And since we are on the topic of PTA, we currently have more PTA members than we have had in anyone’s recent memory (definitely in the last 8 school years).

The Cross Country team is off and running (literally), our Mathletes have been performing well, while our SECME group has been preparing for STEM competitions to come later. Our

Robotics Club is back for the first time in years. Carillon Kids Choir has performed at two events already and are getting ready for the big concert on December 13th here at Carillon.

The PTA Reflections Art Contest has yielded some great art. Student council has led us through a food drive and the school community has raised money to help in Hurricane Michael

relief. Individual students are showing amazing gains documented in their ROCK Albums and iReady. Oh, and our roof is almost finished, we have a new playground and a new perime-

ter fence. Dismissal (with the new procedures) is going even faster than it did last year. For most schools, this might be enough for an entire year. We are only just warming up! Caril-

lon ROCKS! So, ROCK on Comets!

Holiday Parenting Tip from Our School Social Worker- Amy Mather, MSW

Our culture tells us that the holidays are supposed to be happy, peaceful, loving times. We feel obligated to cook delicious meals, choose the perfect gifts, and present a beautiful home. The expec-tations are high, but our families are imperfect, and we have trou-ble meeting expectations. Below are some tips to get through this time of year.

Keep Normal Routines

Get the Kids Involved

Learn to Say “No”

Have Clear Expectations

Set your expectations appropriately and you may just finish the season with some good memories and, at least, your sanity. -Debbie Pincus, MS LMHC

What’s Ongoing at Carillon?

Sunshine State Books

Evidence suggests that children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better in reading tests than those who do not, but also develop a broader vocabulary. Please encourage your child to read the Sunshine State books. There are books for the primary level as well as the intermediate grades. If they are not reading these already, please see your child’s teacher for more details.
