As we return from our break into a world that looks very different than a week ago, we recognize that communicating difficult or scary news to our children can be hard. Whether talking about an international war or other event, check out our Mindful Minute below for some suggestions on how to approach these sensitive conversations.
As we look to the future closer to home, we would like to highlight the opportunity to "meet" our new Superintendent, Dr. Kenneth Hamilton, at the Board of Education meeting scheduled for tonight. Note that this is off the usual schedule.
If you have any ideas, questions, or feedback, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to hearing from you! As always, we thank you for your support.

There are many ways to get involved in the PTA and not all require a huge time commitment. For those who feel they don't have a lot of time to give or for those who may just be interested in dipping a toe into the PTA, consider the The 1 Day Club! Members of this club will be called upon to help with quick, one time activities. To join The 1 Day Club, click here.

Ziploc bags can be recycled with grocery bags. Just rip off the top zip part and recycle the rest.
Foil wrappers may be recyclable. Crush it in your hand, and if the wrapper retains the crushed shape, it’s recyclable.
Staples are removed during the process of paper recycling, so you don’t need to remove them.
War, Crisis, Tragedy: How to talk with kids when the news is scary
Whether an international war, a flash flood or a school shooting, scary events in the news can leave parents struggling to know when — and how — they should talk with their kids about it.
