Message from Mr. Ohnstad
As you know the weather is changing and we are beginning the winter season. Please make sure you have provided all of the necessary winter clothing for your child. We try to go outside for recess everyday all winter if the weather allows. If you would like assistance with this we are more than happy to help. Please reach out to our social worker, Tiahna Edevold, and she will assist you with this process.

Parents Lead
Parenting isn’t always easy, especially in today’s world. The good news is there are steps that can help protect your kids as they grow older. Effectively monitoring your kids through
every stage in their lives is one important way to reduce their risk of becoming involved in
potentially harmful situations or engaging in risky behaviors. Start monitoring your kids early
on, in ways that are age-appropriate. In fact, the earlier you begin monitoring, the easier it will be to continue as your kids get older and the more they’ll expect it from you.
