Message from the School Counselor
As we head into spring break, I want to wish all of our students and families a safe, restful, and enjoyable time away from school. This is a great opportunity for students to recharge, spend time with family, and come back feeling refreshed and ready to finish the school year strong.
Spring break can also be a good time to practice simple self-care. Encouraging routines like getting enough sleep, spending time outside, staying active, and connecting with loved ones can make a big difference in how students feel both physically and emotionally.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or need support!

From the Community School Coordinator
Community Schools: More Than Programs—It’s About Belonging
One of the best parts of Community Schools is getting to see the small moments that don’t always make it into newsletters. This work isn’t always about big events. Often, it’s about making sure students have what they need to be successful—whether that’s a safe place like The HUB, access to extra support, or opportunities to connect with others.
As we move through the school year, we continue to listen to students and families and respond to what’s needed most. That might look different from month to month, but the goal stays the same: supporting the whole child and strengthening our school community.
If there’s ever something your family needs—or something you wish we offered—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am here for you.
Your Community School Coordinator, Ms. Jaymie
