This month our PBIS Life Skill focus is Acting Respectfully. We act respectfully by behaving in a way that shows you care about others, yourself, and your school. This will be introduced at our upcoming Thursday Teamwork Morning Meeting.
With the Winter Season coming up, there is so much opportunity for kids and families to spend time together and enjoy! For many kids and families, this is an exciting time of celebrations. For some, in addition to these feelings, it may be a time that feels stressful due to many factors. Because of this, we are sharing some ideas for how to recognize if your child may be feeling stressed or uncomfortable and some healthy coping strategies to use for kids (and adults!). As always, our Mental Health team is here to support you and your child. If needed, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
