Family Connects

As we approach the end of the first semester and Winter Break, we are grateful for everyone who has helped establish routines for showing up to school every day. Daily routines are essential for reducing stress and creating a sense of security for students and adults.

Please take steps to keep your child healthy and send them to school unless they are sick. Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn as well as connect with peers and their teachers. Let’s finish the first semester strong by coming to school every day!
