PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
As we move deeper into March, we’re welcoming longer days, a little more sunshine, and the first signs of spring. With daylight savings time behind us and temperatures starting to rise, we encourage our students to take advantage of the outdoors. Engaging in nature isn’t just enjoyable – it has proven health benefits, including reducing stress, boosting mood, and improving overall well-being. Whether it’s a walk, playing outside, or simply soaking up fresh air, we hope our students will embrace the opportunity to be active in our beautiful environment.
At the same time, we recognize that seasonal changes can bring shifts in energy and behavior. Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in student conflicts, and we ask for your partnership in helping reinforce positive communication and boundary-setting at home. Please talk with your children about expressing themselves respectfully (caring over foul language from video-game chats is not appropriate in a school setting, and any language that puts down others is destructive), understanding personal space, and seeking help when needed. When conflicts arise, our goal is to address them in the moment – before frustration builds resulting in conflicts to escalate. We encourage students to turn to the nearest adult when they need support in navigating a disagreement or unfair/unkind treatment so that it can be resolved quickly, constructively, and with all voices heard.
By working together, we can help our students develop the skills they need to communicate effectively, solve problems peacefully, and strengthen their relationships with peers. Thank you for your continued support in fostering a positive and respectful school community.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Mr. Yorke
