Red Ribbon Week
October = flu season. Remind kids to wash hands before meals and after recess, not just “when they look dirty.”
Halloween scams hit online, too. Warn kids about fake costume sites and “free candy” links.
Ask your child: “Who made you smile today?” It’s a simple way to teach gratitude.
Please be reminded that we are conducting AED drills this month. We are practicing lifesaving skills in an effort to stay ready!

Coming back from break can feel like a restart. Lay out clothes and prep lunches the night before to cut morning stress.
Talk about location sharing. Ask: “Who really needs to know where you are?” Spoiler: not every app.
Fall break = more screen time. Set app timers so “just one more video” doesn’t eat an afternoon.

October is Fire Prevention Month. Ask your child about their school’s fire drill and evacuation plan. Talk about your plan at home, too!
Friday fun: Eat dinner together and let your child pick the conversation topic. (Yes, even if it’s about video games.)
Pink Alert: We have been learning about the color pink this week. Students may wear pink tomorrow!
Fall break starts soon. Set a goal with your child to finish homework or projects early so the break feels like a true break.
Fall Break is October 13 - 17, 2025. Translation: “I’m bored” season starts now. Stock snacks, patience, and board games, and thank us later.
