New Programs and Schedule

Just want to be certain that everyone knows the LUNCH Points 2 program is now up and running. Visit the Parent Web Site for details. Remember, if you can't find what you need in the navigation bar on the left side, just type the term in the "search bar" at the right top. For example, to find the LUNCH Points login, just type "login." You will need to know your child's nickname. You can find this by searching for "nickname."

We have finalized our meeting schedule:

• Kid Parent In-Office Meetings: Wednesday mornings from 9:15am-10:15am
• Teen Parent In-Office Meetings: Thursdays from 1:15pm-2:15pm
• Sibling Meetings (both groups): Thursdays from 4:00pm-5:00pm (these meetings are held at the office--siblings only. Those who cannot attend can participate via their computer at home and/or by calling in.
• Parent Tele-Meetings (both groups): Thursday from 8:00pm-9:00pm

The last piece of technology to introduce is the closed social network. This will allow teen and kid parents of the summer programs to share resources and communicate.

That's it for now.

On of the other things that happened was that when one of the members got flowers in his hair, and another member started to tell the others in a teasing way, it was possible to intervene and pull that member aside. Give him a choice of whether to be teasing or whether it'd be helpful to the person who has flowers in his hair, and didn't know it. He made a good choice. listen

We finished our first...

We finished our first group with the teenagers and things went pretty well. We had an opportunity to go over some of the basic rules, although we haven't written them down yet. Everyone choose nicknames, except one member. For lunch, we went out for Chinese food at Uncle Chen's. The majority of your kids apparently are fond of fried foods. They socialized and the returning and newer kids got along with one another without problems. A couple of members stayed more by themselves, which we do not push to change. The group ended with participation in a project, which will be posted on the website. So thanks, it was a successful day.
