Family and Community Engagement
Hello Fairview Park Families!

I hope that everyone is healthy and happy!

With all of the challenges posed by the current pandemic, promoting the social and emotional well-being of our students has never been more important. Each week, I am going to enclose in my newsletter a social emotional skill to promote and practice with your child at all grade levels. (Click the link below for a K-12 lesson).

This week's skill is focusing on Optimistic Thinking!


We have had some zoom meetings with parents K-12.  It has been a great way for me and other district staff to hear how it is going at home with everyone.  We understand it is not easy, but feel that all our parents are truly inspirational on their effort. Parents, please remember, your job is to create a routine for learning and allowing your child to "not know." Remember, "not knowing" is a sign of readiness and excitement of learning. Have your child reach out to their teacher for feedback and questions. (Interested in participating in a parent to parent zoom meeting - email me).

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.  We will be putting out all kinds of information and tools for students, parents and staff.  Now more than ever, we want to make sure that everyone has the tools they need to stay positive and emotionally fit.  Be well:):)
