Dear Families,

This week, our school community will focus on the Other People Mindset of Identifying and appreciating the good in others. It’s important to deliberately work to identify and appreciate others’ character strengths. It’s not always easy to notice people’s strengths, but it’s something we should all practice.

Often, it’s easier to blame others or focus on their mistakes, which can lead to negative feelings like jealousy or frustration. This negativity can create problems, not just for us but also for our relationships with others.

When we make an effort to see the good in people, we start to see the world in a more positive way. If we always focus on the bad, it feels like we’re surrounded by negativity, which makes us defensive and stressed. This doesn’t mean we should ignore reality or pretend everything is perfect, but we should try to understand others and recognize their good intentions. When we see the good in others, they are more likely to see the good in us.

To practice and encourage the Other People Mindset at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.

Thank you for your support!

Get ready for the next big step! Our 5th grade families are invited to attend Future Miner Night at Concord Middle School. This exciting event is a great chance to learn all about what middle school has to offer, hear about classes and activities, and get a glimpse of what next year will look like for our rising 6th graders. Be sure to check out the flyer for all the important details!

We’re so grateful for our wonderful volunteers and would love to celebrate you with a breakfast! If you’d like to join us, please sign up using the link below.

Thank you for everything you do to support our little Bobcats — your kindness and time make such a difference! 🐾

Deadline for submissions is March 20.

Full details can be found here.

If you have or know a future Bobcat who will turn 5 years old on or before August 31, 2026, we encourage you to complete their registration as early as possible to ensure a smooth start to the school year! Early registration also helps us to ensure that we receive the correct teacher allotment from the state and are able to plan for our Bobcats over the summer. Below are on-site registration events. You may also enroll your student independently through the online scribbles platform. We can't wait to meet our newest Bobcats!

March 23, 24, 27 (9:00 am - 11:00 am)

March 25 (5:00 pm - 7:00 pm)

All rising kindergarten students and their families should plan to arrive promptly at 4:30 to meet our teachers and learn more about what to expect as a future bobcat.
