Lax Out Cancer - VOTE DAILY!!!
Our incredible lacrosse team has gone above and beyond in their mission to support three local families navigating the challenges of cancer. Through dedicated fundraising efforts and an outpouring of generosity from players and supporters, they have provided crucial financial assistance to alleviate the burdens these families face. But their impact extends far beyond monetary aid – they have formed meaningful connections with a young child, inviting him to practices and offering ongoing emotional support through communication and compassion. Their unwavering commitment to uplifting children and others impacted by cancer is truly inspiring. Now, their community service work has been chosen as a finalist in the LI Spring Sports Heroes Challenge, with an opportunity to receive a grant for their team, school, or a non-profit of their choice. We encourage everyone to visit https://www.teamup4community.org/l-i-spring-sports-heroes-video-challenge-2024 and vote daily from now until the 23rd to recognize the remarkable impact of our lacrosse team's efforts.

Important Message regarding Seatbelts
Dear Families, Student safety is always our top priority. With that in mind, effective April 29, 2024, all kindergarten through fifth grade students will be required to wear a seatbelt when riding the school bus. This important safety measure is being put in place for several reasons: Seatbelts have been proven effective at reducing injuries in the event of a bus accident or hard braking. Having young children buckled into seatbelts increases overall bus safety by limiting movement and potential disruptions caused by unbuckled students standing or moving around the bus cabin. This new requirement may take some adjustment. Our elementary staff will be teaching students about the importance of wearing seatbelts on the bus. Our bus drivers will be assisting in reminding students to stay buckled. Please take some time to talk to your child about the importance of staying seated with their seatbelt always buckled during the bus ride to and from school. With your partnership, we can continue to ensure all our K-5 students form safe habits on the school bus. Thank you for your cooperation in prioritizing student safety. Please reach out if you have any questions. Sincerely,

Follow-up: Safe Social Media Use Student Workshops
Dear Parents and Guardians, Over the past week, students in grades 5-12 participated in interactive workshops designed to inform them about the responsible use of social media. The workshops covered a variety of topics such as digital footprints, online reputations and positive ways to use social media. Students were engaged and participated in the workshops. Promoting safe internet and social media use is an important and ongoing message. If you would like to continue this conversation at home with your children the following questions which align with the content of the workshops may be helpful: 1. What is a digital footprint 2. How is your digital footprint connected to future opportunities (college admission/employment)? 3. How can you use social media to tell the “positive story” about who you are? 4. Do you think social media has affected any of your friends negatively? Has it affected you negatively in any way? Would you know how to ask for help? Thank you as always for your support and collaboration. Sincerely, Gerard W. Poole SWRCSD Superintendent of Schools
