We are still relishing in the delights of Multicultural Week. Thank you to all organizers and participants for a rich, rewarding experiences. The Expo was a feast for the senses, and truly showed how South Woods embraces and celebrates cultural identity.
Wellness Week
Last week's Wellness Week gave students and staff alike a chance to reflect and recharge through activities such as Yoga and Project Adventure Challenges. Students learned mindfulness techniques and coping mechanisms. "Fitness Friday" and lunchtime chess rounded out this healthy week!
State Assessments
As a reminder, the NYS ELA Assessment will be upon us in April. Information can be found here.
- If you have decided to not have your child participate in the upcoming New York State Assessments, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing swmainoffice@syossetschools.org.
- Please make sure your child has a good night's sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and comes prepared with pens, sharpened pencils, and a charged chromebook. All other electronic devices, including cellphones, Air Pods and smart watches, are PROHIBITED in all testing locations. Students may not consume outside food or drink in any location during testing or bring outside food to class if arriving late.
Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship and personal safety online are of the utmost importance. Monitor your child's "digital footprint": “Google” your child, follow their social media accounts, keep internet-ready devices out of bedrooms at night, and set limits to avoid poor decisions with potentially disastrous consequences.
Students must abide by the district's Acceptable Use Policy Our cellphone rule is "Off and Away During the Day." Limited use is permitted at lunch. Students may have their phones confiscated if they are not following the rules.
As an additional reminder, all student Chromebooks are filtered and monitored. Students are not permitted to bypass these security measures. Doing so is a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and the Code of Character, Conduct, and Support.
