• Kids thrive on routines. Knowing what to expect throughout the day helps children feel safe, confident, and prepared.
• Routines make life easier for adults, too! When kids know what they should be doing next, there are fewer reminders, arguments, and rushed mornings.
• Keep it simple. You don’t need every minute planned. Focus on a consistent morning routine, after-school routine, and bedtime routine.
• Consistency is key. Try to keep things like wake-up time, meals, homework, and bedtime around the same time each day—even when life gets busy.
• Let kids take responsibility. As they get older, give them jobs within the routine—packing their backpack, laying out clothes, filling their water bottle, or getting themselves ready.
• Prepare ahead. Doing little things the night before can make mornings much smoother for the whole family.
• Make sleep a priority. A consistent bedtime and enough sleep can make a huge difference in a child’s mood, behavior, and ability to learn at school.
• Remember: routines don't have to be perfect! Find what works for your family. The goal is simply to create predictability and make the day a little easier for everyone. ❤️

The school improvement Team works to ensure we are making progress towards our school wide goals. All these goals are listed in the document below.

The members of this team include: Sarah Zacher, Brian Baumtrog, Madison Hahn, Carson Rood, MacKenzie Moen and Jordan Lunde.

There are subcommittees underneath the school improvement team that work on initiatives and making progress towards these goals as well. You can see their goals/iniatives within this powerpoint.

They will be recognized on the school website and FB page as well as receive a small reward for their accomplishment.
