Hello Tulita Families!

The month of May we will see our 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade students participate in State Testing. When I was a teacher I would encourage my students to view standardized tests as an opportunity to show the test reviewer a picture of their brain; show what he/she knows and what he/she still needs to learn. As a parent, I say the same thing to my 4th grader, while also ensuring he gets plenty of rest (minimal screen time) and healthy foods. I encourage all of our upper grade families to do the same, provide a nurturing home life so that our students can shine through! 

The PTA honored some very important volunteers on Friday morning. We thank the following for dedicating countless hours of their free time to enhance the learning experience our children receive:

Caring Connections
Hello Tulita Families!

Many of you participated in screen free week during the last week of April. Hopefully you gained some insight on both the time spent in front of screens and the endless possibilities of connections that came from the experience. What were some of the things you chose to do as a family or individuals in lieu of screens? Did you discover a new interest? 

Due to the way information is shared in our culture, children and adults have access to information and images 24-7. It is helpful to stay informed, but too much time in front of the news or social media can increase anxiety and fear. Now is the perfect opportunity to re-visit the family rules around screen time and possibly set some new limits. Have a family meeting where all family members can contribute ideas and solutions. 

Happy connecting!

Kindly,
Diana Nelson
