Summer Fun & School Year Prep: A Note to Parents

Dear Raptor Families,

We hope your family is enjoying a joyful and restful summer! This season is a wonderful time to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories—whether it’s a beach day, a backyard barbecue, or simply enjoying a good book together.

As the new school year approaches, now is also a great time to gently ease back into routines that support learning. Simple steps like re-establishing bedtime schedules, encouraging daily reading, and involving your child in school supply shopping can help make the transition smoother.

Don’t forget—summer is not just a break from school but a chance to nurture curiosity and creativity. Visit a museum, explore nature, or try a new recipe together. These moments build confidence and readiness for the year ahead.

We look forward to partnering with you for a successful and exciting school year!

From Nurse Redmon:

If you have a Kindergarten, 7th grader, or 12th grader, your student will need vaccination updates for this coming school year! Take the time this summer to get these immunizations updated! If your child has a chronic health condition or takes medication, please take the time this summer to get their medication form or health history form updated! These forms need to be renewed each school year!
