Stormy weather can heighten anxiety. Let kids talk about what worries them, then calmly explain how schools and families prepare to keep them safe.
Kindness starts small. Encourage your child to notice when someone needs help — opening a door, sharing space, or offering patience goes a long way.
Help your child practice listening for directions during drills or emergencies. Following instructions quickly helps keep everyone safe when time matters.
February is a great time to review your family’s severe weather plan. Talk through where you’d go, who you’d contact, and how you’d stay informed.
February is a time to lead with heart. Emotional safety and kindness are critical to school safety. Let’s look out for one another. #WeAreWare
End the week by asking one simple question: “What went well at school today?” Reflection builds connection — and helps kids notice progress.
Screens tend to creep in during winter evenings. Try a short “unplug window” before bedtime to help brains wind down and improve sleep.
Winter layers can pile up fast. Take a few minutes this week to label jackets, hoodies, and lunch items — it saves time, money, and a lot of trips to Lost & Found.
Attendance matters even on chilly days. When students show up consistently, they build confidence, stronger routines, and momentum that carries through the semester.
Winter dryness can sneak up on kids. Encourage water breaks throughout the day — hydration helps with focus, energy, and immune health.
Cold mornings can slow everyone down. Set out clothes, backpacks, and lunch items the night before to make school mornings calmer and on-time.
