Dear Primary Parents,

We are in search of a few more volunteers to help in our morning car lines! If you are interesting in helping, please stop by for a volunteer background check. We will show you exactly what to do! Let us know if you are interested! Our volunteers help us from 6:45-7:25 daily.

Our school hours are 7:25-3:40. Our car line opens at 6:45am daily. Student attendance is taken at 9:30 am daily, please keep this in mind when making appointments. A student must be here at 9:30 am to be counted present for the day. A student may only miss 15 school days total for the year (excused or unexcused.)

Thank you,

Mrs. Keck

Parent Behavior Tip of the Week

Focus on Visual Schedules

Visual schedules at home offer several key benefits:

Predictability: They help children anticipate and understand daily routines, reducing anxiety and resistance to transitions.

Consistency: A visual schedule reinforces consistent routines, which can improve behavior and make daily tasks more manageable for both parents and children.

Enhanced Communication: For children who struggle with verbal communication or have special needs, visual schedules provide a clear and accessible way to understand and follow routines.

Independence: By referencing a visual schedule, children can learn to manage their own routines and responsibilities more effectively, fostering independence.

Time management: Visual schedules help children understand how long activities will last and what comes next, aiding in time management and reducing frustration during transitions.

Overall, visual schedules support a structured and predictable home environment, benefiting both children and their families.

Volunteers for Classroom Gardens

Each homeroom will have an outdoor garden bed. We are seeking parent volunteers who will work with our master gardeners for the gardens. Please let your child's teacher know if you are interested in helping with the gardens.
