Counselor's Corner

Hello Families,

We are approaching the 4th week of school, and getting students back into a consistent routine can take some time. Middle school students are balancing academics, friendships, activities, responsibilities, and a growing need for independence.Below are some tips for providing structure and support at home that can make the transition smoother!

  • Tip #1: Reestablish a consistent sleep schedule. Encourage students to return to regular bedtimes and wake-up times. Getting enough sleep can make a big difference in a student’s mood, focus, and ability to manage the demands of the school day.

  • Tip #2: Create a simple morning and evening routine. Having a predictable routine can help reduce stress and last-minute rushing. Packing backpacks, choosing clothes, and preparing lunches the night before can make mornings easier.

  • Tip #3: Set aside time for schoolwork. Help your student establish a regular time and place for homework and studying. Encourage them to use a planner or other organizational tool to keep track of assignments and activities.

  • Tip #4: Build in time to recharge. Students need downtime, too! Make space for hobbies, exercise, family time, and activities they enjoy.

  • Tip #5: Be patient with the transition. It is normal for students to feel tired, overwhelmed, or out of sync during the first few weeks. Encourage them, celebrate small successes, and remind them that routines take time to become habits.

Remind your student that they don't have to have everything figured out right away. Starting a new school year is a process, and there are adults at school who are here to help. If your student needs support with getting back into a routine, I am happy to help!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs. Pringle


Hola familias:

Nos acercamos a la cuarta semana de clases, y lograr que los estudiantes retomen una rutina constante puede llevar tiempo. Los alumnos de secundaria deben equilibrar sus estudios, amistades, actividades, responsabilidades y una creciente necesidad de independencia. A continuación, presento algunos consejos para brindar estructura y apoyo en casa, ¡lo cual puede hacer que esta transición sea más llevadera!

  • Consejo n.º 1: Restablezcan un horario de sueño constante. Anime a los estudiantes a retomar horarios regulares para acostarse y levantarse. Dormir lo suficiente puede marcar una gran diferencia en el estado de ánimo, la concentración y la capacidad del estudiante para afrontar las exigencias de la jornada escolar.

  • Consejo n.º 2: Creen una rutina sencilla para la mañana y la noche. Contar con una rutina predecible ayuda a reducir el estrés y las prisas de último momento. Preparar la mochila, elegir la ropa y organizar el almuerzo la noche anterior puede facilitar las mañanas.

  • Consejo n.º 3: Dediquen tiempo a las tareas escolares. Ayude a su hijo a establecer un horario y un lugar fijos para hacer la tarea y estudiar. Anímelo a utilizar una agenda u otra herramienta de organización para llevar un registro de las asignaciones y actividades.

  • Consejo n.º 4: Reserven tiempo para recargar energías. ¡Los estudiantes también necesitan momentos de descanso! Dediquen tiempo a pasatiempos, ejercicio, convivencia familiar y actividades que disfruten.

  • Consejo n.º 5: Tengan paciencia con la transición. Es normal que los estudiantes se sientan cansados, abrumados o desajustados durante las primeras semanas. Bríndeles ánimo, celebren los pequeños logros y recuérdeles que las rutinas requieren tiempo para convertirse en hábitos.

Recuerde a su estudiante que no tiene por qué tener todo resuelto de inmediato. Comenzar un nuevo año escolar es un proceso, y en la escuela hay adultos dispuestos a ayudar. Si su hijo necesita apoyo para retomar la rutina, ¡estaré encantada de ayudarle!

Que tengan un excelente fin de semana,

Mrs. Pringle
