As testing season approaches, we emphasize the crucial role of regular attendance in your child's academic success. Consistent presence in school ensures your child doesn't miss vital instruction and preparation for upcoming assessments, which are key to understanding their progress and needs.

Missing school can significantly impact learning, particularly during this critical period. We understand unavoidable absences happen, but encourage your child to be in school as much as possible to maximize their learning opportunities.

To support your child's success, please ensure they have a consistent routine, adequate sleep, and a healthy breakfast. These factors greatly contribute to their ability to perform well in school.

If you have concerns about attendance or need support, please contact us. Together, we can ensure your child achieves their full potential.

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. Cavities (also known as caries or tooth decay) are the most common chronic disease of childhood in the United States. Cavities can cause pain, even worse they can lead to infections in other places of the body, like the heart! Tooth decay is often preventable with proper oral hygiene. This month, I will be visiting classrooms talking about the basics and more regarding oral health! Below are some great links to information and activities you can share with your child. I also included a resource for discounted dental care in Conway. If you need assistance in finding a dentist or resources for getting your child dental care, please call me or email me at glennsh@conwayschools.info

Febrero es el Mes Nacional de la Salud Dental Infantil. Las caries son la enfermedad crónica más común de la infancia en los Estados Unidos. Las caries pueden causar dolor, y lo peor, pueden causar infecciones en otras partes del cuerpo, ¡como el corazón! Las caries dental se pueden prevenir con una higiene oral adecuada. Este mes, visitaré las clases para hablar de los aspectos básicos y más relacionados con la salud oral. A continuación se presentan algunos enlaces con información y actividades que puede compartir con su hijo. También incluí un recurso para el cuidado dental descontado en Conway. Si necesita ayuda para encontrar un dentista o recursos para obtener el cuidado dental de su hijo, por favor llámame o envíame un correo electrónico a glennsh@conwayschools.info.
