Teaching Resilience to Children
As the quote above demonstrates, at times we need resilience to survive. Teaching children resilience can serve them well when they encounter stressful situations. We can teach them resilience in simple ways such as helping them develop confidence.
A simple exercise to try with your child: Create a gifts box that reflects all their great characteristics.
Resources:
- HealthyChildren.org discusses the 7 C's of resilience we can foster. Competence, confidence, connection, character, contribution, coping and control all contribute to resilience.
- The American Psychological Association published this Resilience Guide for Parents and Teachers that offers useful tips to improve our children's resilience skills.
- Positive Psychology offers 27 activities for building resilience for students and adults.

Messages from the Nurse's Office
Attention Eighth Grade Parents
8th grade students will be receiving a hearing and vision screening over the next few weeks. If your child wears glasses please remind them to have and wear them at school.
Attention Sixth Grade Parents
6th grade dental requirements are fast approaching. If you need to make an appointment with the dentist please do so. If you have not turned in the exam report please turn it into Conrady's office. All 6th graders are required by the state to have a dental exam.
If your 6th grader is still missing their physical or any immunizations please follow up with your doctors office. Some offices have received the required vaccines.
Keep children home if they are sick
Please remember to keep your child home from school if they have any flu like symptoms or COVID symptoms. Students are required to be symptom free for 48 hours and cleared by the COVID team prior to returning to school. Students should join their classes remotely if they are able to. Thank you for keeping our students and staff healthy.
