Happy December! Can you believe that we are almost done with the year 2024?
Students need adequate sleep in order to perform their best in school.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics:
Children ages 6 to 12 years old should receive 9 to 12 hours of sleep per night,
Children ages 13 to 18 years old should receive 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night.
The Best ways to ensure your child gets enough sleep:
Keep a consistent daily routine
Encourage exercise and activities during the day
No screen time for at least an hour before bedtime
Let’s finish this year well rested!
Side note: Might not be a bad idea to pack an extra pair of clothes in your kiddos backpack during this snowy wet weather!
