Suffield Observations
Suffield Observations – Biting commentary
|
I deal with angry people on a regular basis. It starts out cordial enough, but it can get ugly fast. It’s not about anything I wrote; or politics; or any of the hot button issues that send people over the edge. It’s about teeth — specifically paying for the care of them. I’m in charge of billing at a dental office.

Building Momentum This Fall
|
The new school year is well underway, and the energy in our schools is a reflection of the excitement that comes with fall. Our team members and students are diving into learning, exploring new connections, and taking advantage of all that Suffield Publi Schools has to offer.National Bullying Prevention MonthOctober is National Bullying Prevention Month, a reminder for all of us to focus on creating schools where every student feels safe and valued. In Suffield, this commitment shows up through the Kindness Matters movement, created in memory of Meghan Voisine. The program gives students the chance to lead projects that spread compassion and inclusion in everyday ways. This year, the district incorporated a Kindness Statement into each school’s handbook to reinforce our commitment to a learning environment where hurtful behavior, words or actions of any kind are not welcome.
