April's Citizenship Word of the Month: Self-Discipline
Self-discipline means to take care of oneself and to have a desire to achieve or strive for something.
Children sometimes think only of today. While this can be healthy, children also need to become aware of how their actions today may affect tomorrow - and the rest of their lives. Through learning about self-discipline, Oatville students will be learning good character traits to set daily, weekly, and yearly goals for themselves. They will be discussing the importance of wanting to achieve something and setting goals to achieve it. Remember to listen to your child and the goals he/she has currently in mind. Encourage your child to tell you about what he/she wants to do and be in life. Praise your child's successes as he/she accomplishes short term goals.

Recycle Used Computer Ink Cartridges/Cell Phones
If you are currently throwing away your used computer ink cartridges and outdated cell phones, please send them to Oatville. We have joined a recycling program that trades used ink cartridges for cash and vouchers for technology equipment. Let your friends and co-workers know as well. This is a cheap and easy way to supplement our technology budget. If you have any questions, please contact Carol Omenski or call the school office at 554-2290.
District Wellness Plan
Haysville School District adopted a wellness plan to improve the health and well-being of our students. A special thank you to all the parents and to our PTA for supporting this effort to make parties and celebrations for students to include more healthy choices. The fall parties were great with many creative ideas for following the wellness guidelines and suggestions. As a reminder, parents are asked to assist by following guidelines for providing healthy items in their child's sack lunch as well as healthy snacks for parties and special occassions. While parties are a time to celebrate, providing helathy items can still be fun.
Bully Prevention Program
