Did you remember to move your clocks ahead one hour? Sunday, March 10, at 2 a.m., daylight saving time begins.  As a result of the time change, many students will be walking to school or to bus stops in the dark. Help your child stay safe by having them wear reflective clothing and bright or light colors, or add reflective items to their backpacks or clothes.

Please join the wellness team for a “Staying Strong in Spring” presentation! The next few months are a fun and busy time at Parklawn! We want to review the ways that we will be supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally. We will also discuss how you can help your child thrive and finish the school year positively. Some topics included in the presentation will be the importance of attendance, test taking preparation, conflict resolution and healthy coping strategies. This month, we are going to host this coffee as a virtual Zoom meeting. Be on the lookout for the link, which will be sent the day before the meeting. We hope to see you all there!
