Novel in an Hour~
Mrs. Noack’s 4th graders participated in an activity called Novel in an Hour yesterday and read the book Bunnicula! They performed skits based on the chapters they were assigned.
Parents and Grandparents~ At Burney Elementary, we believe school and home work best as a team! This holiday season, we’re focusing on gratitude — emphasizing using our manners, saying “please,” “thank you,” and “you are welcome,” greeting others pleasantly, offering to help others, showing respect in words and actions and identifying things in our lives we are grateful for. When students see these habits practiced and encouraged both at school and at home, it really sticks! Thank you for being our partners in helping our children continue to grow to be kind, respectful individuals.

Help Your Students Navigate AI with Confidence and Care~
AI is already shaping how students learn, connect, and see the world, whether we’re ready for it or not.
As educators, we have a unique opportunity to help them build emotional intelligence and digital responsibility before habits set in.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join a special expert panel on how schools and families can guide kids to use AI in healthy, thoughtful ways
You’ll hear from district leaders, therapists, and innovators who are bringing human connection back into the conversation around AI.
You’ll walk away with:
✅ Ways to create safe spaces for students’ questions about AI and technology
💬 Practical strategies to help staff and caregivers strengthen real-world connections
🧠 Insights into how schools can use AI as a support tool — not a substitute for human connection
Meet the Panel ✨
Morgan Nugent – Superintendent, Fall River Unified & Founder of Troops to Schools
Joni Stamford – Therapist, mindfulness educator, and author
Alison Lee, Ph.D. – Cognitive scientist & R&D lead at The Rithm Project
Maria Barrera – CEO & leader in AI and youth technology innovation
📅 Wednesday, October 22
🕑 1:00 PM PST / 4:00 PM EST
💻 Virtual Webinar
Bring your student support team, tech leads, or invite your families. This conversation will help your entire community approach AI through a lens of connection and care.
