Happy December, families! This month, we have a parent press (focusing on handling traumatic events with children) linked, but I also have a request for you. Below is a QR code, which will take you to a google survey. This survey focuses on how to support executive functioning in children (the topic of November's parent press newsletter).

If you have a moment to fill out the survey, I would be incredibly grateful!! But, more excitingly, when you fill out the survey, you'll be entered into a drawing for a calming kit for your child and you to use at home. To complete the survey... open in BROWSER view at the top of webpage.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at elizabeth.korzenowski@ahschools.us. Thank you!!

Community resources are important during these upcoming weeks as students are home during winter break. If your family is in need of resources, please contact our School Social Worker, Jodi Sandquist at jodi.sandquist@ahschools.us or 763--506-2731.
