May 2023 LCS NewsletterSpring has arrived, and with it comes a sense of renewal and hope for a brighter future. As we move into the month of May, we have much to look forward to in our schools and within our community. Enjoy our newsletter as you learn about Asian and Pacific Island Heritage Month, gain some teaching tools to assist students in reading in a different language other than their native language, and celebrate our bilingual psychologists with us.

The full newsletter can be found at the link below. Stories include:

Student Monitoring - After students score proficient on their WIDA test, they are monitored for four years. If you have any students in monitoring, you will be asked to complete a monitoring form each quarter for them. This quick check-in allows you to communicate any concerns you might have with students who have exited EL services but who continue to be monitored for four years after their exit date. When you log into ELLevation, you will see a red flag above the "Monitoring" tab on your screen.This tells you how many forms you need to complete, and when you click, it will take you to your unfinished forms. Make sure you complete these before the year ends!

Immersive Reader in Canvas - The Immersive Reader is an add-on in Canvas that students can set up to help them understand your Canvas content. Immersive Reader will do the following:

  • Translate text (show students how to do this--they'll have to adjust each time they open immersive reader) If they click a word, a picture will pop up
  • They can adjust font size, background color, and have it highlight line-by-line reading.
  • It will read text to them, can speed or slow audio, change audio to male/female voice, and has different dialects or accents students can choose.
  • Here are the instructions for students to add it the Immersive Reader button to their Canvas page. It might be helpful to walk them through it by doing it on your own:
  • Go to "Account" on left side of Canvas screen. Click "settings"
  • Scroll down to the list of "Feature Options"
  • Click the red X next to "Microsoft immersive reader," click "enabled," and turn it to a green check.
  • Bonus: Students can also turn on auto-captions for Canvas Media in the "Feature Options" list

Culture Corner - May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, a time to celebrate and recognize the contributions and achievements of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. This month is an opportunity to learn about the rich history, diverse cultures, and significant contributions that AAPI individuals and communities have made throughout our country's history. It's a time to reflect on the challenges faced by AAPI people, including discrimination and racism, and to promote inclusivity, understanding, and respect for all individuals, regardless of their background. As a district community, let's take this month to celebrate the AAPI heritage and continue to work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.

Reflective Questions - As we end the year, think about the following:

  • How can I build a stronger community that encourages and engages ALL students in my classroom?
  • What went well this year? What do I want to improve?
  • How can I use ELLevation in August to help me prepare for the new group of students I will teach?
  • What can I do for me this summer that helps me decompress and relax after my busy teaching year?
  • What can I plan for next year to help me support my and my student's social and emotional health as the year goes on?

Celebrating our Bilingual Psychs this year! - We have 747 ML's in our district who have IEP's. To help with testing, we have two wonderful bilingual psychologists working nonstop to help test our multilingual students throughout the district. Monica Amador and Angie Mar Velez Matias have had their busiest year yet trying to get students tested for special ed services.
They've tested nearly 300 students this year between the two of them. They do new student referrals and re-evals for students from out of district, state, or country. They are a valuable connection between Special Ed and Language and Culture, and we couldn't do it without them!

Building Exercise into a busy schedule flyerFor most of us, there never seems to be enough time in the day, especially when it comes to exercise. Life is unpredictable, with work, kid’s schedules, appointments, social events, sickness, tiredness or plain lack of motivation stealing time away from us. But, the fact is, if you take a deeper look at your daily schedule, you can find time to exercise.

Fitting in just 10 minutes of continual exercise here and there throughout your day gives you several health benefits, including improved mood and energy level. The key is making exercise convenient. Remember, all physical activities, not just formal exercise program at the gym, add up to a healthier you. Here’s how:

At Home

  • Wake up early and spend an extra 15-30 minutes walking or performing other exercises before work.
  • Do housework and yard work at a pace fast enough to get your heart rate pumping. Set a timer and see how much you can accomplish.
  • Be active while watching your favorite shows or during the commercial breaks. Do jumping jacks, pushups or marching in place with hand weights.
  • Take a walk or go bike riding after dinner with the whole family. Or take the dog for a walk.

Exercise at Work
Schedule a break or use part of your lunchtime to walk around or to exercise at your desk:

Chair squats: Stand up and sit down in your chair without using your hands. Progress to barely touching the seat with your rear end.

Standing leg curl: While standing (use a chair or desk for support if necessary), extend one leg behind you. Flex your foot and bend your knee, bringing your heel up towards your rear end. Squeeze at the top before lowering the leg.

Desk push-ups: Position yourself in a plank position, hands slightly wider than shoulders on the edge of your desk. Keep abdominals pulled in to support lower back. Slowly bend at the elbows and lower your nose toward your desk. Push back up to start and repeat.

Exercise During Everyday Activities

  • Park your car farther away from your destination and walk the extra steps to work, stores, appointments, errands
  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator every chance you get
  • Spend time actively playing with your children or grandchildren
  • Walk in rather than use the drive-through window
  • Carry bags to your car instead of using a shopping cart
  • Anytime you’re standing in a line, contract your abs 10 times and then your glutes (“back end” muscles) 10 times
  • If you take the bus or the subway, get off at an earlier stop and walk the remaining distance to your destination

May 2023 EMI Health NewsletterCheck out the May 2023 EMI Health newsletter. Stories include:

  • Build a Better Body Image - Having a healthy body image means that you feel good about how you look. The next time you look in the mirror, compliment yourself. Good self-esteem starts with kindness. Maybe you love the shape of your face, the color of your eyes or your arms that can hug loved ones. It may sound silly, but positive self-talk can be very helpful. If you tend toward negative self-talk, ask yourself, “Would I be this harsh if I was talking to my friend?” Treat yourself with the same kindness you give to others.
  • Sugar: Just How Bad Is It? - Added sugar is found in about 65% of products on grocery store shelves, and North Americans tend to consume a lot of the sweet stuff. The trouble is that high-sugar diets — defined as more than 12 teaspoons of added sugar per day — are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, unhealthy blood cholesterol and some types of cancer.
  • Emotional Intelligence - Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage your emotions in positive ways. Also known as emotional quotient (EQ), it can be as important as IQ in your personal life and your work.
  • Postpartum Depression - Popular culture often highlights the joy of becoming a parent, but it can also be challenging and exhausting. Some degree of anxiety and moodiness is normal. In fact, 50% to 75% of new parents have a period of sadness and crying known as the baby blues, which may appear in the first few days after birth, subsiding within about two weeks.

IRS Tax Withholding Estimator helps people get ready for the 2024 filing season; make sure withholding is right on 2023 paychecks

The Internal Revenue Service today suggested taxpayers who filed or are about to file their 2022 tax return use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator to help update the amount of tax to have taken out of their 2023 pay.

The IRS says now is a good time to use this online tool. The Tax Withholding Estimator, also available in Spanish, can help people adjust how much is withheld and could put more cash in their pocket or help them avoid a tax bill for 2023.

The Tax Withholding Estimator offers workers, retirees and the self-employed a step-by-step guide to effectively tailor the amount of income tax they have withheld from wages, pension and other income. It’s especially useful after a major life change such as marriage, divorce, home purchase, the birth or adoption of a child or a big change in income.

Benefits of using the Estimator
For employees, withholding is the amount of federal income tax taken out of their paycheck. Workers can use the results from the Tax Withholding Estimator to determine if they should complete a new Form W-4 and submit it to their employer. For example, checking withholding can:

  • Ensure the right amount of tax is withheld and prevent an unexpected tax bill or penalty at tax time.
  • Determine whether to have less tax withheld from each paycheck, boosting take-home pay and reducing refunds at tax time.

What records are needed?
The Tax Withholding Estimator’s results are only as accurate as the information entered. To help prepare, the IRS recommends taxpayers gather:

  • Their most recent pay statements and, if married, statements for their spouse.
  • Information for other sources of income.
  • Their most recent income tax return.

Withholding or estimated payments?
Income taxes must generally be paid as taxpayers earn or receive income throughout the year, through either withholding or estimated tax payments. If the amount of income tax withheld from one’s salary or pension is not enough, or if they receive other types of income such as interest, dividends, alimony, self-employment income, capital gains, prizes and awards, they may need to make estimated tax payments.

In 2023, taxpayers who receive more than $600 in income from third-party settlement organizations, including popular payment apps, may receive Form 1099-Ks. Individual taxpayers can use the IRS online Interactive Tax Assistant to see if they’re required to pay estimated taxes. Good recordkeeping is key.

People with complex tax situations should instead use the instructions in Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax. This includes taxpayers who owe alternative minimum tax or certain other taxes and people with long-term capital gains or qualified dividends.

April 2023 EMI Health Newsletter CoverCheck out the April 2023 EMI Health newsletter. Stories include:

  • Exercise Goofs - Regular exercise is one of the best habits you can maintain to protect your health, mentally and physically. Make the most of your workout goals, and avoid common exercise mistakes.
  • Hunger Cues - The advice to eat according to your hunger cues, or “eat when you feel hungry, but stop when you feel full,” is popular in nutrition circles. It’s a more intuitive way of eating compared to diet culture’s dogma of counting calories or following a rigid meal plan.
  • Peer Pressure: Not Just for Kids - The term peer pressure might call to mind children or teens who try to copy those around them, but we can be swayed by our peers at any age. Sometimes it’s intentional. We may strive to imitate others we admire or seek to gain their approval. Or we subconsciously act like those around us. If others are eating or drinking to excess, for example, this copycat behavior can be a problem.
  • Humor Me!  - Humor can do far more than make you smile or laugh. Why did the banana go to the doctor? He wasn’t peeling well. Yes, that’s corny. But whether humor is silly or sophisticated, what makes you smile and even guffaw can benefit your health.
