Counselor Corner

I hope the year has started out terrifically for all of the students and families.  If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out at petert@talawanda.org or 513-273-3628.

 

Talawanda is using the Second Step Program to help develop our student social-emotional skills to be successful both in and out of the classroom.  I began lessons with grades k-3 this week and will begin with 4th and 5th graders next week.  Click the appropriate link(s) below to read about what is being covered in the first unit of lessons.

 

Kindergarten

Grade 1

Grade 2

Grade 3

Grade 5

 

Teachers have recommended some students who could benefit from skill building in a specific area.  I will be reaching out to parents of recommended students next week about participation in these “lunch bunch” groups.  Lunch bunch groups will begin the week of September 19th.

 

I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome that I have received.  Marshall is a wonderful environment and I am lucky to be part of it.

Lunch and Recess Time

It would be helpful to have your child’s name written in or on your child’s lunch box.  If it gets left behind we can get it to the right person.  When it turns cooler and students have jackets and coats it would also be helpful to have their names written on a tag.  Thank you for helping us get items back to their owner.  In addition please remind students to leave toys and trading cards at home.  These items can lead to upset feelings then students lose them or try to trade them.

TSD Breakfast and Lunch Program

For the past two school years, the USDA has offered waivers to food service programs across the US allowing us to offer all students a breakfast and lunch at no charge.  Unfortunately, these waivers expired June 30, 2022.  This means that families will be asked to complete and submit a Meal Benefits Application for the 2022-23 school year.  With the waivers, breakfast and lunch were free.  This year if students do not qualify for free/reduced lunch, they must pay.  The prices are listed below:

 

Student Meal Pricing

Breakfast - $1.50 

Lunch - Elementary $2.75 

Milk (Individual) - $.60

The Marshall Lunch Menu is posted on the website linked here.

Students must have their breakfast card to get a breakfast in the morning.  These cards were given out at the beginning of the year and should be kept in one location of the student’s backpack.
