Centerville Families,

As we work together to support the success of our students, I want to share an important reminder about one of the simplest but most effective ways to help your child thrive—ensuring they get enough sleep.

Adequate sleep is essential for children’s physical health, emotional well-being, and academic performance. Experts recommend that school-age children get 9–12 hours of sleep each night. Sleep helps students stay focused, manage emotions, and retain what they learn in class.

Here are a few tips to establish healthy sleep habits:

• Set a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, even on weekends.
• Create a calming bedtime routine with activities like reading or listening to soft music.
• Limit screen time in the hour before bed to help their minds wind down.
• Ensure their sleeping environment is quiet, dark, and comfortable.

Together, we can give our students the tools they need to feel energized and ready to learn each day. Thank you for partnering with us to prioritize their well-being!

Go Cougars!

Now that we have been at school for a couple of months, it is helpful to review some of the expectations for different spaces at school!

Next week your child’s classroom will be reviewing what Respect, Responsibility, Right Choices, and Readiness look like when we take bathroom breaks.

If you could take a couple of minutes to talk through these questions with you children, we would appreciate it!

1. What are 3 ways that you show RESPONSIBILITY at the bathroom?
2. What are 3 different RIGHT CHOICES that you make at the bathroom?

The nurses office is in need of boys underwear, sizes 4-8. If you find a great sale or are able to help us out we would appreciate it.

• Join us for our meeting next Tuesday at 6pm, in-person in the library or virtually via Google Meet <meet.google.com/xip-rnah-izo>.
