We wish them the best of luck! We have a few teachers moving grade levels at Placer Academy. Shelli McClain has asked to be moved to a primary grade and we are super excited to have her as one of our fourth grade teachers next year. This also means that are current fourth grade teachers, Cori Williams and Chelsea Brumfield, will be moving to Upper Academy to teach math and social studies. Additionally, Jeanne Blake is taking on a new role as our learning center teacher. (There will be more to come on the learning center soon!)

Article of the Week
HOW TO BULLYPROOF YOUR CHILD:
When my 10-year-old daughter was shunned by her friends a few years ago, we tried a surprisingly effective anti-bullying strategy. The trouble started during a play date when three little girls battled over who would wear the one sparkly gown for dress-up. It ended up my daughter’s prize, infuriating one of the girls who told the rest not to play with her. My daughter defended herself, crying, as the other girls continued to taunt her. Searching for answers, I came upon the work of Izzy Kalman, a school psychologist, educator and author of “Bullies to Buddies: How to Turn Your Enemies Into Friends.” His concept of the golden rule is to treat the person insulting you as a friend rather than an enemy, and not to get defensive or upset.
