Attendance Notification
The district has implemented an automatic attendance notification system. In the event that a student is absent from school, for any reason, parents will receive a text message and email. We hope that this process helps to better keep parents informed of their students' attendance.
Clinical Corner
This busy time of year makes it hard to keep up with everything-and things tend to literally pile up! And I am sure it’s no surprise that this can activate the stress hormone cortisol in your body. On the flip side, after you organize your refrigerator or your desk you just naturally feel calmer! And sometimes happier! In the article, “The surprising impact a cluttered space can have on your health-both mental and physical”, it states “A cluttered space often induces feelings of overwhelm, stress and anxiety,’ explains Dr. Grace Hula. “The constant visual stimuli from a chaotic environment can contribute to a sense of being mentally burdened, making it challenging to focus and concentrate.” From a physical perspective, the article mentions the consequences of injuries due to tripping over cluttered spaces as well as being a breeding ground for dust and pests. So if you have a minute, encourage your child/student to tidy up their room or study area or set aside some time to sweep through your living room picking up things as you go….you might feel a little lighter and less stressed.
