Body Regulation


As summer approaches I want to leave you with a few tools to help your child practice self-regulation at home. One way to help students learn this is through yoga, mindfulness, and guided relaxation. These activities can help students socially and emotionally with difficulties including: Anxiety, Anger, Depression, Focus/Concentration and Confidence.


Check out the links below to continue to practice these important skills with your child.

If your child is absent, please call 592-7552 and leave a message including their name and reason for absence. This saves Mrs. Douglas time in the morning because she calls each person who hasn't called in and leaves them a message. Thank you for your help in this matter.
