We are so excited to welcome students back to school. We hope all families had a relaxing and refreshing break. Please be sure to check in with your child reminding them to try their best and make great choices. Getting back into the busy schedule and routine can be challenging for students. We will all work to be patient and consistent with school rules and expectations.

• Open communication: Discuss how everyone feels about returning to routine and address any concerns openly.

• Positive reinforcement: Highlight the fun aspects of returning to school or work, like seeing friends or starting new projects.

• Model the Change: If your child seems to be struggling to get back into the groove, model the routine for them.

• Patience is Key: breathe and find patience.

Please aim to send your child to school each day. If your child is not sick, please send them to school.

We understand that older siblings may need to walk our kiddos home. Please be sure your child's teacher is aware of this arrangement. We have a new form to be completed by parents/guardians of students that are walked home by siblings that are under 18 years of age. Once the teacher is made aware, we will send home the form.

Please complete the Annual Emergency Information Update
