Audubon Elementary
December 2015
From the Principal's Desk
As quickly as the school year began, the calendar year is coming to an end. As we approach the holiday season, we become busy with family events, fun activities, and the general hustle and bustle. I encourage you to be mindful of your child's schedule and the impact the stress adults are feeling has on our children. Try to keep your child on a consistent bedtime routine. The excitement children are feeling at this time of year coupled with changes in routine can lead to fatigue and anxiety which often lead to tantrums and difficult behaviors. Plenty of rest and structure can help keep children on track. Remember that your time is the best gift you can give your child.
I wish you all the best this holiday season and in the new year!
Kind regards,
Tara Ricci

Drop-off and Pick-up Reminders
We want to keep everyone safe! Please remember to stay in your car and pull as far around as possible when dropping-off or picking-up at arrival and dismissal. Students should exit and enter your vehicle from the curbside only. There is no parking in the circle during arrival and dismissal times.
Please continue to send a note if your child is parent pick-up, staying after-school for an activity, or not going to the Y or other daycare as usual. If you forget to send the note in the morning, give us a call. We will be glad to write the note for you!
