Be Firm, Not Flakey in Your Boundaries

You need to set firm boundaries and stick to them. If you set and stick to the rules you create, it tells your child that they need to follow the rules.

Miles of Smiles, the mobile dentist, will be at Walsh school on January 20, 2025. Paperwork has gone home in your child’s backpack and extra forms are available in the main office. Please take advantage of this free service, return completed forms to school as soon as possible to sign your child up to see the dentist.
