Dragon Community,
As we move through the school year, I want to take a moment to share a few important reminders and encourage continued growth within our school community.
First, I’d like to encourage everyone to continue practicing random acts of kindness. Whether it's a simple compliment, a helping hand, or just a smile, these small gestures have a powerful impact on our school culture. Acts of kindness help foster a positive and supportive environment where every student feels valued and encouraged.
Attendance plays a critical role in your child's success. Consistent attendance at school is crucial because every day of learning builds upon the next. Missing school means missing out on valuable lessons, activities, and interactions with peers and teachers. Let’s all make a concerted effort to ensure high attendance this year, as it directly supports your child's academic and social growth.
As students continue to use devices for learning, it’s important to monitor their usage at home. Technology is a fantastic tool for education, but we want to ensure it is being used responsibly and appropriately. Please take time to check in with your child about their screen time and encourage healthy habits for technology use.
Planning ahead is also key in helping students stay on track. Whether it’s organizing assignments, preparing for upcoming events, or managing time for schoolwork, being proactive helps students stay focused and feel confident in their abilities. Together, we can support them in making thoughtful choices and managing their responsibilities.
Lastly, I encourage families to engage in 30-minute reading sessions each evening. Reading is a vital habit that improves vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills. Whether it’s a book, magazine, or article, carving out time to read together can deepen your child’s love for learning and provide important bonding moments.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making our school a place of excellence. Together, we can help every student reach their full potential.
