CARE & Connect
Just a reminder to families that the end of the school year is typically difficult for students to navigate with high emotions and many unknowns as we switch schedules and move into summer. This year will be especially trying for our kids as we close our school. You can help by:
- keeping what's in your control consistent (bedtimes, weekly activities, morning routines, family time)
- hold space for your child to process out loud (it's good to give them time to talk about how they are feeling and what they wonder)
- connect them with friends (get connected with other families before the end of the year so that the fun can continue, it also gives kids something to look forward to)
- put time in your schedule for the things your child enjoys and finds calming (art, sports, snuggle time, read alouds, playing with play dough or Legos)
- give your child a purpose, something to do (chores at home, writing cards or notes to others, random acts of kindness, build a scrapbook)
