Message from the Principal
Hello and thank you for another wonderful week at Oswegatchie! It was a great week at Oswegatchie School! Thank you for your continued support of our teachers who are working hard to provide a compassionate and rigorous learning environment. In my time working as an educator, I have yet to meet a “bad” kid. I have, however, worked with many students who struggle with self-regulation and emotion management. I am proud to work in a district that embraces social-emotional learning as Waterford does. I hope to hold some informational opportunities so families can see first-hand how we are meeting the needs of the whole child. In the meantime, here is a great article on behavior: http://www.chadd.org/AttentionPDFs/ ATTN_04_11_LaggingSkills.pdf
