It was so much fun seeing our incoming 6th grade students as they stopped by to determine what instrument they want to play.

Parent Corner: Helping Kids Stay Focused at School

As spring arrives, students often find it challenging to stay focused and on task due to the warmer weather and longer daylight hours. This time of year can lead to student distractions and squirrelly behavior. However, maintaining focus during the final months of the school year is important for your child’s academic success. Parents play a vital role in helping their children remain engaged and productive. One effective strategy is to maintain consistent routines. Establishing a regular schedule for homework, chores, and leisure activities can provide the structure children need to stay organized and attentive. Encouraging students to break tasks into manageable chunks and setting specific goals for each study session can also enhance their ability to concentrate.

In addition to routines, good nutrition and sufficient rest are essential for sustaining students’ focus. Providing balanced meals rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins can boost energy levels and cognitive function. Encourage children to snack on healthy options such as nuts, yogurt, or fruit rather than sugary treats that can lead to energy crashes. Equally important is ensuring that students get enough sleep each night. Establishing a consistent bedtime routine, free from screens and distractions, can help children wind down and prepare for restorative sleep. By prioritizing these strategies, parents can support their children in maintaining focus and finishing the school year strong.

Pruebas de la CMAS

CMAS will continue next week. As in previous years, all of our students will take the Math and  English Language Arts tests. Our 8th-grade students will also take the CMAS Science test, which is only administered at 8th grade. Additionally, our 7th-grade students will take the CMAS Social Studies test. 

El periodo de exámenes durará dos semanas. Por favor, asegúrense de que su hijo llegue puntual todos los días durante este periodo, ya que los exámenes comenzarán puntualmente a las 7:45 de la mañana cada día. 

Los alumnos realizarán la prueba CMAS en sus iPads, por lo que les pedimos que carguen sus dispositivos la noche anterior para que estén listos para la prueba a la mañana siguiente. Si un alumno llega al colegio con el iPad sin cargar, tendremos que quedarnos con su dispositivo en el colegio para cargarlo hasta que finalice el periodo de exámenes. Una vez finalizada la prueba, los alumnos tendrán la oportunidad de leer un libro en papel, así que, por favor, anime a su hijo a traer un libro al colegio. Una vez finalizadas las pruebas, los alumnos seguirán un horario de clases modificado durante el resto de la jornada.

Exposición de arte sin enmarcar de St. Vrain
