Sleep is important for mental health because it helps to:
Relieve stress, improve concentration, regulate mood, and sharpen judgment and decision-making. A lack of sleep not only reduces mental clarity but our ability to cope with stressful situations. This is due, in part, to the impact of chronically high levels of cortisol. Continuing to have consistent bedtime and morning routines is so helpful for each of our students! Thanks for all you do to encourage sleep and attendance!

Things that are exciting about this year.... Seeing students enjoying their lunch in the cafeteria and visiting with friends is one of Mrs. Kriselle's highlights!
