Principals' Note

Dear Families,

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow afternoon, August 16th,  between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM at our Open House! This event is a wonderful opportunity for you and your students to meet their classroom teacher and get a first look at their classroom before the new school year begins. 

If you have purchased school supplies through the PTA, they will be delivered directly to your child’s classroom before the Open House starts. 

You should have already received an email from Cameron with your student's classroom teacher assignment for this school year. If you haven’t received this information, don’t worry! We will have staff members stationed throughout the building with class lists ready to assist you. 

Additionally, our administration team will be in the library to review school policies and answer any questions you may have. We encourage you to stop by and say hello! 

After the Open House, please join us for our Welcome Back to School Picnic on the school grounds from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, sponsored by our wonderful PTA. There will be food, snacks, and drinks provided for everyone to enjoy. 

We are fully prepared and excited to welcome our students and families back to school. We can't wait to see you all there! 

Warm regards, 

Mr. Johnson, Principal 

Ms. Snyder, Assistant Principal 

Ms. Robertson, Assistant Principal

Back-to-School Toolkit: Proven Systems for Solving Disorganization, Procrastination, and Missed Deadlines with Ann Dolin

Unrelenting patterns of disorganization, procrastination, and late assignments wear down and discourage many parents of students (especially those with ADHD and other learning differences) as the school year grinds on. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

In this webinar, Ann will discuss:

  • What a system is and why sustainable systems are game changers for kids
  • Uncover which type of procrastinator your child is, from crisis-maker to dreamer, and get personalized solutions for each procrastination style
  • How your child can effectively use a calendar system to combat procrastination and meet deadlines head-on
  • Strategies to help your student maintain order with easy-to-implement organizational routines, like the Clean Sweep and Launching Pad
  • Communication starters to develop a relationship of trust at the start of the school year and how to nurture it for a smooth academic journey

Join Educational Connections Founder and President Ann Dolin, M.Ed., an experienced author, educator, and advocate for this important webinar.
