Message from the Principal
Dear Cub Run Families,
It's hard to believe that we have reached the half-way point in the school year! Our staff and students have been working hard every day as learners and as a community to make school a fun and safe place to learn. Tomorrow and Friday, January 26th and 27th, are student holidays. On these two days, staff will be attending trainings and professional development, preparing progress reports, and planning for the 3rd quarter.
As you scroll through our News You Choose e-newsletter each Wednesday, you'll notice a change in formatting that we hope will streamline the information sent to you each week. The first section of our newsletter will include new updates and information. At the end of this section, you'll see this "ICYMI - In Case You Missed It" image:
 The section that follows the image will always include information that has already been sent out, yet is still timely. As a parent myself, I know that it never feels like there is enough time to take in all of the information in my inbox, including updates from my children's school. I hope this will help. As always, I am open to your feedback!
Enjoy the long weekend with family, and we look forward to seeing our Cubbies back on Monday, January 30!
Warmly,
Natalie Lorenzi
Principal
Calendar Reminder: Quarter End

Does Your Child Refuse to Go to School?
Each year, nearly 5% of youth experience school refusal. This refers to a child refusing to go to school on a regular basis or remain in school throughout the day due to significant emotional distress. School refusal includes kindergarten students with relatively mild separation anxiety and more severe cases where a student misses weeks or months of school because of debilitating anxiety or depression. Read how to get your child back to school in the Healthy Minds Blog or learn more about attendance policies.
¿Se niega su hijo a ir a la escuela?
Cada año, cerca del 5% de los jóvenes sufren rechazo escolar. Esto se refiere a un niño que se niega a ir a la escuela de forma regular o a permanecer en la escuela durante todo el día debido a una angustia emocional significativa. El rechazo escolar incluye a alumnos de Kinder con ansiedad por separación relativamente leve y casos más graves en los que un alumno falta a clase durante semanas o meses debido a una ansiedad o depresión debilitantes.
Lea cómo conseguir que su hijo vuelva a la escuela en el blog Healthy Minds o infórmese sobre las políticas de asistencia.
자녀가 학교에 가기를 거부하나요?
매년 청소년의 약 5 %가 등교 거부를 경험합니다. 이것은 심각한 정서적 고통으로 인해 정기적으로 학교에 가기를 거부하거나 하루 종일 학교에 남아 있는 아동을 말합니다. 학교 거부에는 비교적 경미한 분리 불안을 가진 유치원생과 신경쇠약 불안이나 우울증으로 인해 학생이 몇 주 또는 몇 달 동안 학교에 결석하는 더 심각한 경우가 포함됩니다. Healthy Minds 블로그에서 자녀를 학교에 다시 데려오는 방법을 읽어보시거나 출석 정책에 대해 자세히 알아보십시오.
