WEEK OF 5/06/2019
Principal's Message
Are you prepared for those last, hectic weeks of school? These tips will help your family through the May and June chaos. Take a deep breath and focus on keeping yourself and your family organized and excited for summer.
As school winds down, end-of-the-year events — from music recitals to sports banquets — clog the calendar. But the academic year isn't over yet! Making sure your kids finish with their best effort — when their efforts are required in so many different areas — can be quite a challenge.
Stick with the routine
Try your best to stick with your child's regular after-school routine.Set homework rules and check to make sure she's still meeting deadlines. If a progress report says your child's work isn't getting done, make a plan with her to ensure a strong finish.
Address stress
If your child is showing symptoms of end-of-year stress — not eating or sleeping well or being irritable — you may want to talk to him about ways to handle the pressure of juggling too many balls.
