Please keep in mind that the district will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, January 21st. I hope you enjoy the extended weekend.

Effective Discipline for Children workshop
Discipline - the word often conjures up punishment. Let's make a conscious effort to focus on another definition - to train or develop by instruction and exercise, especially in self-control. By focusing on the latter, we help children to self-regulate and foster independence. This builds both their competence and self-esteem. Our collective goal is to have children independently make better choices rather than do 'the right thing' out of fear of punishment.

Wash away Germs
The peak of the cold and flu season is upon us. To help prevent the flu and other colds, it's important to practice good hygiene at home. It's important that we teach and model good hygiene habits, which include but are not limited to
- frequent hand washing
- avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
- cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, use a tissue, throw it away, and then wash your hands
- avoid close contact with people who are sick
