Spotlight on Safely Re-Opening Our Schools
At the beginning of 2020, we became completely engrossed in an abrupt and novel pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic brought about uncertainty, anxiety, fear, sadness, and worst of all mortality. The sad truth of this unprecedented epidemic is many of these emotions may remain with us all for months and years, and even more so with our students. Together WE can strive to encourage and support one another to bridge essential needs for all, so that our fortitude can be reflected in our students; One Team, One Goal: Student Success.

Bed Time Routine
Good sleep habits include having a consistent routine. Start moving bedtime back in 15 minute intervals every couple of nights leading up to the start of school.
What to Say When...
There is still some uncertainty surrounding current events and it's okay to not have all the answers. Just being there to listen and to provide an emotionally supportive response is enough.
Increase Your Happiness
Start a new routine where you share the best part of your day. Pick a time such as, around the dinner table or at tuck-in time, and make this part of your family routine.
