    “Supporting Your Families Mental Health During Turbulent Times”
    Presenter: Dr. Patricia Gatto-Walden
     
    With the COVID-19 pandemic taking its toll on the world, social and emotional needs have come front and center.  As uncertainty has surrounded us for several years, we have done the best we could to take care of ourselves and our families.  A further challenge has been to make sense of a new normal which includes zoom, political, environmental, and pandemic fatigue. Instability, insecurity, and unpredictably have affected every member of our family, and particularly our sensitive, gifted and/or twice-exceptional children.  These turbulent times require adult knowledge and skills on how to establish and maintain our own mental health, and in turn, a depth of understanding of how to positively support the mental health of our sensitive children.
     
    Empirically-based strategies of self-care will be enumerated.  Insights gathered from a survey conducted of 400 gifted 5th-12th students in Florida and Colorado on “what they worried about the most” and “what they need help with right now” will be shared.  How to support the needs of your gifted children to build their sense of inner security and resiliency will be highlighted.  There will be allotted time for questions and answers. 
     
    Learning Objectives: 
    1. Parents will feel supported in a group setting as they discover commonality of personal, family, and children mental health challenges during these turbulent times.
    2. Essentials of self-care for positive mental health will be enumerated.
    3. Deepened understanding of what gifted children say are their greatest worries and needs at this unparalleled time.
    4. Integrate what gifted children say they need from parents to feel safe and thrive.
    5. Learn ways to build one’s own and your children’s self-confidence and resiliency.

    Campus Will Reopen Tomorrow!

    Dr. Tammy Ferguson
    After reviewing the latest forecast for Palm Beach Gardens, The Weiss School campus will reopen tomorrow for all EC-8th grade students. Tropical storm warnings are set to expire at 8:00 AM. We will continue to offer the virtual option for all K-8 students if you choose to keep your child at home. Again, all student absences will be excused if students are unable able to join their classes via Zoom. Hot lunches, aftercare, and clubs are still on as usual. Thank you for a wonderful virtual learning day - we had very minimal technical disruption to learning and provided normalcy for our gifted students throughout the day. This plan is subject to change if the forecast changes and weather deteriorates.

  • Hurricane Ian Update

    Dr. Tammy Ferguson
    Dear Weiss School Families:
     
    Our clubs and aftercare programs will remain open this afternoon. Our athletic director, Coach Hier, will contact parents regarding athletic practices and events throughout the week.

    All student absences will be excused tomorrow if students are not able to join their classes tomorrow on Zoom. We will continue to monitor and provide updates regarding Thursday.
     
    We apologize for any inconvenience.

  • Keeping Our Campus Healthy

    Dear Weiss School Families:
     
    A late flu season is upon us and it is our goal to keep our campus as healthy as possible. We had two reported cases over the weekend. A middle school student and a student from early childhood. During the last four weeks, the percent of influenza-positive laboratory results have increased in Palm Beach County. Influenza A(H3) is the most common subtype identified. Please read the "Florida Flu Review" link below for more information:
     
     
    Teachers have been asked to send students who have symptoms listed below to the front office to call home. A student who shows symptoms of the flu should not be on our school campus. Students must stay home if he/she has any of the following respiratory/influenza like symptoms or has been diagnosed with the flu: 
    • A fever or has had a fever during the previous 24 hours
    • A heavy, nasal discharge
    • A persistent cough
    • Vomiting and intestinal issues such as diarrhea
    • Red eye with discharge and/or crusty eyelashes
    • Body ache
    The teachers will continue their diligence in having students wash their hands regularly along with keeping their classrooms cleaned and disinfected. Also, our custodial services are cleaning and disinfecting daily. Please contact Nurse Carmack at tcarmack@weissschool.org immediately if your child has a confirmed case of the flu.

  • Terra Nova Testing

    Mrs. Susan Evans
    March 7th – 10th, 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM
     
    TerraNova testing begins next week. The TerraNova Test is a nationally standardized, norm-referenced achievement test. These tests are commonly used to provide valid, reliable, and unbiased information about students' knowledge in various subject areas and help determine how students are performing on state and national education standards. Test scores help identify an individual student's strengths and the areas that may need additional emphasis. The assessments also provide valuable schoolwide data that enables sound educational decision-making and evaluation of instruction.
     
    Subject areas include Reading, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Each test includes sample questions to help students become familiar with the content and format of the tests. All test questions are multiple-choice, and each content area test lasts about 10 to 40 minutes each, depending on grade level.
     
    Paper-Based Test - If your child attends school virtually, he/she will be unable to participate in the TerraNova. All morning classes are canceled until after lunch.  The regular class schedule will resume after lunch.
     
    Make-up Testing will be coordinated after the Spring Break. The Weiss School is testing all portions of the TerraNova Complete Battery ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

  • COVID Update - Parents Welcome Back to Campus!

    Dr. Tammy Ferguson
    Dear Families:
     
    A huge thank you to our Weiss School faculty, parents, and students for helping us to keep our campus healthy. This week we moved to "mask optional" and students and faculty have done a fantastic job of keeping everyone healthy on campus. Our early childhood students will continue to wear masks and will eat outside until further notice. K-8th grade teachers have the option to take their class outside to eat lunch or eat inside due to our upgraded air purification systems in each room. Please see the COVID-19 Dashboard below with our updated cases through February 2nd which indicates that we have not had a positive case since January 21st. I've also included the latest graph from the Johns Hopkins dashboard. As of February 1st, cases have dropped by 123.07% from the previous week - SUCH WONDERFUL NEWS TO SHARE!
     
    With this information provided below, I feel very comfortable inviting parents back on campus. Thank you so much for your patience while we do this in a gradual manner to ensure the health and safety of all of our Wolverines.

    We will carefully monitor the data and will let you know of any changes to our updated protocol regarding parents being back on campus. Just a friendly reminder that parents are required to wear a mask when inside our building and must check in with Ms. Varty at the front office before entering. Opportunities to visit are listed below:
    • Parent Conferences 
    • Meetings with Administration
    • Parent Association Meetings
    • Coffee Talks 
    • Class Parties (beginning with Valentines' Day celebrations, however, please check with your Homeroom teacher for specific details)
    • Friday Morning Show (beginning February 11th - please see invitations below)
    • Birthday Breakfast (beginning in March)
    • Field Day (March)

    Yours In Education,
    Dr. Tammy Ferguson
