A Message From Mr. Lynch
What a wonderful start to the school year! The energy and enthusiasm our students have brought to school have been fantastic, and it’s been great to see their excitement as they settle into their new routines and are introduced to new adventures in the classroom.
As we continue with the school year, check if there are any remaining school supplies that still need to be sent in. If you’ve missed anything from the supply list, please send it with your child as soon as possible.
Also, just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy a relaxing and safe holiday weekend with your family!
Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation. I’m looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and can’t wait to see all the wonderful things our students will achieve!
Mr. Lynch
Counselors Corner
Hello Brimfield Families!
We hope this newsletter finds you and your children in good health and high spirits. As we embark on returning for the new year we would like to emphasize the importance of establishing and maintaining healthy routines for both parents and students. Routines are essential for fostering a positive learning environment and ensuring your child's success in school and beyond. In this article, we will share some tips and suggestions to help you build effective routines at home.
Consistent Bedtime: A good night's sleep is crucial for your child's physical and mental well-being. Establishing a consistent bedtime routine helps them wind down and ensures they get enough rest for optimal performance in school. Set a regular bedtime and encourage your child to follow a relaxing routine before bed, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath.
Morning Rituals: Starting the day on the right foot sets a positive tone for the entire day. Encourage your child to establish a morning routine that includes tasks like making their bed, brushing their teeth, and having a healthy breakfast. Allocating enough time for these activities will help your child feel prepared and focused as they head to school.
Homework Time: Designate a specific time and place for your child to complete their homework. Create a quiet and well-lit workspace that is free from distractions. Encourage them to break their homework into manageable tasks and take short breaks in between to maintain focus and avoid burnout. Be available to assist and offer guidance when needed, but encourage your child to take responsibility for their own work.
Healthy Eating Habits: Proper nutrition plays a significant role in your child's overall development and academic performance. Plan and prepare balanced meals that include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Encourage your child to eat breakfast, pack healthy snacks for school, and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Modeling healthy eating habits yourself can positively influence your child's choices.
Physical Activity: Regular exercise is vital for your child's physical and mental well-being. Encourage your child to engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. This can include activities such as biking, swimming, playing sports, or simply going for a walk together. Make physical activity a family affair and find ways to incorporate movement into your daily routines.
Limit Screen Time: Excessive screen time can negatively impact your child's academic performance and overall health. Establish guidelines for screen time and encourage alternative activities such as reading, arts and crafts, or playing board games. Be mindful of the content your child consumes and ensure they have a healthy balance between screen time and other enriching activities.
Remember, building routines takes time and consistency. Start by introducing one routine at a time and gradually add more as your child becomes comfortable. By establishing healthy routines, you are providing a stable and nurturing environment that supports your child's growth and success.
If you have any questions or need further guidance, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the school administration. Together, we can help your child thrive academically and personally.
