If students purchased the “2025 Field Day T-Shirt” they are to wear it on this day.

T-Shirts will be delivered to students next week.

If students did not purchase the shirt, they may come out of uniform but please encourage your child to dress comfortably, bring a hat/sunglasses (if sunny), and a towel or change of clothing in case they get too wet due to the water game station.

Please make sure students bring their own water bottles to the event

(name written on them preferably).

Summer break is almost here! While academics take a backseat, social-emotional learning (SEL) can continue to blossom throughout the season. This month's Social Work Corner offers tips to nurture important life skills in your child:

• Playful SEL: Infuse games and outings with social learning! Plan board games that encourage teamwork or create scavenger hunts that foster problem-solving.

• Emotions in Action: Role-play scenarios at home to help kids navigate tricky emotions. Practice expressing frustration calmly or asking for help respectfully.

• Family Time, Growth Time: Schedule regular family meals for open communication. Encourage sharing feelings and celebrate successes, big or small.

• Community Connections: Volunteer together at a local shelter or organize a neighborhood cleanup. Building empathy and social responsibility strengthens SEL.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!
