STAFF VACCINATION UPDATE
Out of an abundance of caution, your child's teacher will be letting you know when he or she expects to get a second shot. If the teacher is not able to be at school the following day, your child will be participating in distance learning. The morning following the second vaccination, the teacher will communicate with families, providing updates regarding whether they will be at school or if your child will be learning at home.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work towards getting everyone vaccinated.
MINDFULNESS & BREATHING BUDDIES
For more details about the benefits of mindful breathing, I encourage you to watch the short video below (less than two minutes) by Daniel Goleman. Enjoy.
