March 2026 Newsletter
We are looking forward to some warmer and drier weather. Students have been cooped up inside for too long. We look forward to being able to get outside for activities soon.
Although, it has been fun perusing the classrooms lately. Our teachers have some very creative ideas when it comes to educating our children. There are a lot of neat projects going on in our school.
Congratulations to our 3rd graders for finishing their IREAD testing. They gave great effort. Results will come out in April.
I look forward to seeing many of you at our Preschool/Kindergarten Roundup on Thursday, March 26th.

The Circle of Control
This month's section is about the Circle of Control — a simple but powerful way to handle big feelings.
Many “That’s not fair!” moments happen when children focus on things they can’t control — like someone else’s choices, rules, or outcomes. While those feelings are real and important, we are practicing shifting our focus back to what is in our control.
Inside My Circle:
✔ My words
✔ My choices
✔ My effort
✔ My attitude
✔ How I respond
Outside My Circle:
✖ Other people’s behavior
✖ What others think
✖ The weather
✖ What already happened
When children learn to focus on their own choices — even when something feels unfair — they feel calmer, more confident, and more capable.
How You Can Help
Gently ask: “Is that inside your circle or outside your circle?”
Try: “You’re right — that doesn’t feel fair. What part of this can you control?”
Notice effort: “That was a strong choice. That was in your circle.”
Good News Club is from 3pm-5pm.
