Dear LaSalle Families,
Happy May! The year continues to go by quickly and May and

Just a few reminders for you. Our school track and field day will
take place on Friday, May 6th at Sandwich Secondary School
(rain date on Monday, May 9th). This event is for students in
grades 3-8. Students will be transported to and from the school by
bus. Parents are always welcome to cheer on students
throughout the day. If you are taking your son/daughter home
from Sandwich, please let his/her homeroom teacher know. If
they are going home with another parent, we require a written
note from you to give permission.
Our grade 3 and 6 students will be writing the provincial EQAO this
month. Grade 3 students will be writing May 25, 26, 31, June 1, 2,
and 3. Grade 6 students will write May 26, 27, 31, June 1, 2 and

The Zones of Regulation Check out Mrs. Laing/Mrs. Smilev Early Years’ class. Notice that all the student-named close pins are
in the green zone!
Glossary Self-regulation: The ability to achieve the preferred state of alertness for
the given situation. This includes regulating one’s body’s needs as well as
one’s emotions.
The Zones: A concept used to help students learn how to self-regulate.
The Zones of Regulation creates a system to categorize how the body
feels and emotions into four colored zones with which the students can
easily identify.
Blue Zone: Used to describe a low state of alertness. The Blue Zone is used
to describe when one feels sad, tired, sick, or bored.
Green Zone: Used to describe the ideal state of alertness. A person may
be described as calm, happy, focused, or content when he or she is in
the Green Zone. The student is in control in the Green Zone.
Yellow Zone: Used to describe a heightened state of alertness. A person may be experiencing stress,
frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, or fear when in the Yellow Zone. The student maintains some
control of himself or herself in the Yellow Zone.
Red Zone: Used to describe an extremely heightened state of alertness. A person may be
experiencing anger, rage, explosive behavior, panic, extreme grief, terror, or elation when in the
Red Zone and is described as being “out of control.”
Toolbox: A collection of calming and alerting strategies a student can pull from depending on the
present need.
Tools or strategies: Used interchangeably to refer to a calming or alerting technique that aids the
student in self-regulation.
Trigger: An irritant that causes a student to become less regulated and increases the likelihood of
going into the Yellow or Red Zone.
Stop, Opt, and Go: A concept used to aid students in controlling impulses and problem solving
better solutions. This phrase is paired with a stoplight to provide additional cues for students.
Expected behaviors: Behaviors that give people around you good or comfortable thoughts about
you.
Unexpected behaviors: Behaviors that give people uncomfortable thoughts about you.
What is the size of the problem? Is this a Big or Little Problem?: Questions posed to help students
measure the size of the problem they are experiencing (Big Problem, Medium Problem, or Little
Problem).
Big Problems: Problems that many people share and that have no easy, quick, or pleasant solution.
Medium Problems: Problems some people share that are able to be resolved in an hour to a couple
of days.
Little Problems: Problems that only affect one to two people and can be ignored or solved in a
matter of minutes.
Inner critic: Used to describe negative, self-defeating thoughts.
Inner coach: Used to describe positive thoughts.
Superflex thinking: A flexible thinking pattern in which a person is able to consider different points of
view or ways to do something.

On McHappy Day, one dollar from every Big Mac®, Happy Meal®
and McCafe® beverage will be donated to Ronald McDonald
Houses across Canada and other great charities.
It is a time-honoured McHappy Day tradition for civic and
community leaders to get involved in this extremely beneficial
cause. As a local McDonald’s franchisee of LaSalle, Ontario
Heather Short would like to invite everyone to participate in this
very worthwhile event to provide support during McHappy Day.
Our school community involvement would be a tremendous boost
to the McHappy Day efforts and help everyone further support the
Windsor Ronald McDonald House.
The ECO team had a Go Green fundraiser. We had
partnered with Vesey's Bulbs to raise money for our
school greening projects. Monies raised will be used
towards freshening up our nature area and
flowerbeds around the school, as well as starting up
some new green areas. Thank you to everyone who
helped support our school and keep the Earth green!
