Calm Minds, Safe Schools. This month, students will prepare for testing with a focus on maintaining calm routines, being aware of their surroundings in the hallway, and promoting emotional wellness. Help us create a peaceful environment by encouraging rest, positivity, and self-control..

Spring break is coming. Review screen time limits and expectations at home.

Close the month by affirming growth, effort, and resilience.

March can feel busy for kids. A quick check-in at the end of the day—“What felt easy today? What felt hard?”—can make a big difference in how supported they feel.

Reflect together. What’s going well at school right now?

Encourage responsibility. Packing materials the night before reduces stress.

Remind students that mistakes are part of learning, not a setback.

The Lucky Run is this Friday. $5 to run and $1 to watch. Popcorn will be for sale for $1. Parents are invited to attend if your child is running. 5th grade will also be selling raffle tickets for a fire pit during the run.

Gaming and messaging apps update often. Recheck privacy and chat settings.

Organization check—folders, binders, and backpacks need a reset.

Help your child set one goal for finishing March strong.

Ask your child who they worked with today. Collaboration builds skills.

Encourage handwashing and hydration as spring illnesses circulate.

Review drill expectations with your child: listen, follow directions, stay calm.

Check in emotionally. School can feel busy this time of year.

Help students break big assignments into smaller steps.
