Students will not have school on Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. I encourage each of you to take time on Monday to reflect on Dr. King's powerful legacy and the ongoing work of advancing equity, justice, and understanding in our communities. Whether you choose to spend the day in personal reflection or engaging in community service, this is a valuable opportunity to honor his contributions and consider how we can all continue working toward a more just and inclusive society.

No School on Monday, January, 20th

Introducing "Supporting Grieving Kids: A Resource from the Delta Center School Counseling Program"

This guide is designed to help young learners navigate the complex emotions associated with loss. It offers tools to help children express their feelings, understand that grief is a natural part of life, and find comfort in their healing journey. By encouraging open conversations and emotional expression, we aim to empower students as they process their experiences.

Below are additional resources to further support children coping with grief.

We will see all of the students on Tuesday! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
