Review alert settings on your phone. Make sure notifications are enabled so you don’t miss important updates.
Stress can show up as headaches, stomachaches, or frustration. A calm conversation can help kids name feelings and feel supported.
Winter routines can feel long this time of year. A consistent morning and after-school schedule helps students feel secure, focused, and ready to learn — even when the weather changes plans.
When school schedules change due to weather, routines at home still help. Keep wake-up times, meals, and reading consistent when possible.
Celebrate kindness in action. Notice when your child includes others, shows empathy, or helps without being asked — those moments matter.
Weather awareness is a skill. Teach children the difference between watches and warnings and what each one means for safety.
Practice gratitude midweek. Asking “What are you thankful for today?” can help kids reset when stress runs high.
Cold or rainy days don’t mean kids have to stop moving. Short indoor activity breaks help burn energy and improve concentration.

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.

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.
We Take Care of Each Other! This month, students will practice expressing big feelings and supporting friends who are sad or upset. Safety includes emotional support, too!
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.
