@Collab070430013 @woschools Both teachers and families need knowledge and skills to advocate for their students. Check to see which areas staff members need support in, then check with families. Like an oxygen mask, teachers need to be prepared first before they can help others.

Why it’s good to say good to say ‘nigh, night’ to your pre-kinder cutie before 9 PM. This study showed that children who slept 10 hours per night adjusted more favorably to kindergarten in both socio-emotional adjustment and academic engagement. @Collab070430013 #Collab070430013

Now is a good time to remind parents and guardians to get those school supplies while many stores are having sales! Padres y guardianes, muchas tiendas tienen ventas ahora. Por eso es una buena idea comprar los suministros escolares que tu hijo/a necesita para septiembre.
