Back to School Conversation Starters for Families
Whether your child is starting school for the first time, beginning in a new school or returning to a new grade level, the first month of school can be both exciting and stressful for kids (and parents) as everyone adjusts to a new weekly rhythm. Asking open-ended questions in the car, on a walk, or at the dinner table is a great way to find out more about your child’s school days and get a feel for how they are adjusting, and is an excellent way to connect on a deeper level as a family. Below are some fantastic conversation starter ideas to ask in the car, on a walk, or while sharing a meal.
For more family conversation starter ideas, check out the Family Dinner Project.
Wishing you wonderful family conversations,
Mrs. Stichka

Cell Phone Policy
Dallas Harris is asking that students do not have phones out on school grounds before, during or after school. Students are allowed to keep their cell phones in their backpacks during the day. If SMART watches interfere with learning or are used during the day for calls, they will need to be kept in backpacks as well. for your support on this issue.
