February19th-No School:Professional Development

Parents and guardians have the right to decide to keep their child home on any day they feel it is unsafe for their student to be in school because of weather conditions. If you believe the weather provides a sincere reason why you may have to keep your student at home, or take your student home when classes are scheduled to continue, you as a parent or guardian will simply need to contact our school office to let us know.

Mark your calendar for spring parent-teacher conferences on Monday, March 11 and Tuesday, March 12.

There will be a two-hour early dismissal on Tuesday, March 26 for spring break and no school from Wednesday, March 27 through Monday, April 1. School will resume on Tuesday, April 2.

The District provides every student with a device to enhance the overall learning experience. When a student receives their device, it is their responsibility to take appropriate care of the device. Unfortunately, the District has hundreds of devices damaged or destroyed each year.

Damage to devices or lost devices could result in fines and reduced Internet access. Detailed information on fees is available in the Parent/Guardian and Student Handbook on the District website. We encourage you to remind your student about the responsibility that goes with having a device.

The District’s mobile app provides quick and convenient information at your fingertips. Download the mobile to receive push notifications from the District about closings and cancellations and stay updated on today’s school lunch menu, upcoming events, and school news.

Everyone feels sad, mad or worried sometimes. While it may be hard to let others know how you are feeling, you may show it in how you think, feel, or act. You may

· Eat less or more

· Argue more

· Cry easily

· Feel bored with things you like

· Have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep

· Want to be alone a lot

· Act before thinking

· Have less energy

· Feel nervous/stressed

When you feel this way, you may want to do something to help you feel better, such as

· Write a story

· Play outside

· Do a puzzle

· Smile or laugh

· Ride a bike

· Draw or paint

If this does not help, talk with a parent or grown up! They should be able to help.
