SHES Weekly Update

Dear Shadow Hills Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing weekend and the last bit of beautiful summer weather around town.

We are excited to bring back our Lunch on the Lawn event for our families this coming Friday, September 30. Parents are invited to eat lunch with their students on the front lawn. Please let your child's teacher know if you are coming, so students know where to go. If no family members can attend, the student eats lunch regularly on the playground. Parents are asked to stay outside the black gates and wait for their children. If you would like to sign your child out after lunch, please do so in the office.

I'm looking forward to another fantastic week at Shadow. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Meris

Here at school, we have been very busy learning about respect, what it means, why it’s important and how to do it! Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. Below are many ways that you can help your child continue to learn about the theme of respect through reading about it, talking about it, and practicing it! We have really enjoyed exploring this topic at school, and I hope your family will enjoy it just as much!

Reading About It

Here are some books to help you learn more respect:

Practice It!

Think about the specific needs and preferences of everyone in your house. Make a list. Spend one week together trying to be mindful of each other’s needs and wants. Talk about the effects this experiment has on your family.

Talk About It!

Here are some discussion points to help you talk about respect with your child:

• What do you think it means to be respectful and why is it important?
• What are some ways you can be more respectful at home, at school and in the community?
• Are there any ways that you would like me to be more respectful to you?
• What are some reasons it can be hard to be respectful?

Please review and save this handbook for reference throughout the year.

• Water bottles - It is extremely important that your child brings a water bottle to school DAILY. We do have multiple water bottling filling stations on-site to refill their bottles.

If you are planning on volunteering this school year, please fill out our Volunteer Packet and return it to the Shadow Hills office.
