We are all excited to see your children's faces as they return to the halls and classrooms of Euclid in 2025. Every new beginning is an opportunity to reset intentions or start fresh with a clean slate. I encourage you to chat with your child about one (or two) ways they might make the new calendar year even better than last. Set an intention together as a family...

• less screen time (less youtube, social media, video gaming) for everyone?
• more time reading together or at specific time each evening?
• commit to family dinners more nights a week?
• go for walks together after dinner? just 10 minutes can make a difference for your mental well-being

At this month's Board of Education Meeting held in Euclid's new Library Media Center (Tuesday, January 14 @7pm), I will have the opportunity and honor to celebrate some of Euclid's hard work this year. We will celebrate the emotional growth and well-being of our Euclid community, our continuously improving attendance rates, and the hard work of our students who are learning and practicing critical thinking and meaningful discourse. You can watch in person or the livestream online.

On Tuesday, January 28, our teachers are planning a parent/family night to learn about and plan together for how you can support your children's emotional regulation at home. Pencil this evening into your calendar. Parenting is the most wonderful and, yet, the most challenging job of our lives. Learning regulation strategies together can make the "hard stuff" a little easier.

#bettertogether

Sincerely,

Ms. Daly

Ways to help your child's attendance:

• Keep an attendance chart at home. At the end of the week, reward your child for attending school every day. Rewards could include a visit to the park, pick the family movie, extra time for a preferred activity.
• Make sure your child is in bed by a certain time each night and the alarm clock is set.
• Don’t let children stay home unless they are truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomach ache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home.
• If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, social workers, or other parents for advice on how to make him/her feel comfortable and excited about learning.
• If your child has a cold but no fever (less than 100 degrees), send him/her to school anyway. If you don’t have a thermometer, purchase or borrow one.
• Identify a relative, friend or neighbor who can take your child to school if you can’t or if he/she misses the bus.
• Avoid medical appointments and family trips/vacations when school is in session.

The district will use eLearning days in the event that weather or other circumstances prevent students from learning in the building. If an eLearning day is called, students will receive their learning instructions for the day through the Seesaw application.

Purchase forever memories for $15.00. Gift a book forward for $15.00.

We use the chart below to help determine whether is too cold for students to be outside. If the "Feels Like" temperature is in the red on the chart, students will be inside for arrival, physical education class, and/or recess. In the winter, that typically means the temperature + wind chill is 10°F or below.

Please make sure students are dressed appropriately for the weather when they leave in the morning. Students will be outside unless the temperature is dangerous, there is thunder/lighting, moderate/hard falling rain/snow, or extreme amounts of ice.

*Contact our social worker(s) if your family could use some confidential help getting appropriate winter weather gear. Jenna Welch (224-612-7440) or Arely Flores (224-612-7454)
