A Note from the Principals


Thank you to everyone who came out on Thursday night for the parent meeting. We talked through a lot of information & made some decisions for next school year. I know it's always hard to get away in the evening, but I truly appreciate all that our parents do for us! If you were unable to come, click HERE for the notes from the meeting. 

::ATTENTION:: Our carnival dates have CHANGED! Due to unforeseen conflicts with the ride company, we have had to change our carnival dates from May 1st-3rd to May 15, 16, & 17th. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

THE DIGITAL PARENT
Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century

This tip is from: medlineplus.gov

How to Decrease Screen Time

Despite what ads may say, videos that are aimed at very young children do not improve their development. Less than 2 hours a day for children under 14 is what is recommended by  researchers.
Cutting down to 2 hours a day can be hard for some children because TV may be such a large part of their daily routines. But you can help your children by telling them how sedentary activities affect their overall health. 

To decrease screen time:

  • Remove the TV or computer from your child's bedroom.
  • DO NOT allow TV watching during meals or homework.
  • DO NOT let your child eat while watching TV or using the computer.
  • DO NOT leave the TV on for background noise. Turn on the radio instead, or have no background noise.
  • Decide which programs to watch ahead of time. Turn off the TV when those programs are over.
  • Suggest other activities, such as family board games, puzzles, or going for a walk.
  • Keep a record of how much time is spent in front of a screen. Try to spend the same amount of time being active.
  • Be a good role model as a parent. Decrease your own screen time to 2 hours a day.
  • Challenge your family to go 1 week without watching TV or doing other screen-time activities. Find things to do with your time that get you moving and burning energy.
