If you think back to when you were a child or teenager, sleep probably wasn’t high on your priority list. Your evenings were likely spent sneaking in more TV time, chatting with friends or making more time for hobbies like music and video games.

But just as making sure your kids have the right school supplies, getting them back on a sleep schedule is the foundation for a successful school year. Sleep is a key part of their physical and mental health and can lead to better attention and performance in school, as well as emotional regulation and greater impulse control.

While the number of hours of sleep your kids need will change with age, an easy way to get them back on a sleep schedule is to get them to bed at the same time every night. If that sounds easier said than done, check out the national PTA's six tips to make bedtime more enticing.

This is the final week to sign up!

As many of you have noticed, our new nutritionl services program has menus that have a lot more detail, but are not user friendly. We have created this "shorthand" menu for September attached below. For more detail, or for any changes, view the online menu. Just be sure to change the school to "Ponderosa" and that you are on the "lunch" option, NOT the "ECD lunch"
