The attached article from Men’s Health has excellent tips for Dads, Moms, and teachers when dealing with common issues that arise in raising children. I particularly liked the advice for handling tantrums and how to handle it when your child wants to quit a chosen activity.
It looks like I’ll be postponing Principals Night In from September 22 to October 13. All the illness and school closures are playing havoc with our schedules here at Eaton and made it impossible to plan appropriately for this event.
I want to encourage as many parents as possible to attend. Not only will we feed you and provide childcare services, but we will have a great time brainstorming together ways to improve our school. It’s a unique way to meet other Eaton parents, and we always incorporate suggestions from this event into our school improvement planning process.
Go ahead and mark your calendars now for Tuesday, October 13. I look forward to a fun-filled evening hearing your ideas and getting to know you better.
It would seem the flu season is upon us early. Our friends across the driveway at NMS are out of school the next three days to to absenteeism rates of 25% and above. We have avoided these massive absences so far, but we know our turn is coming. Custodians are doing double duty cleaning, we are washing our hands (and going through soap and paper towels like never before), and we are sending students home immediately when symptoms are reported. With that in mind, you may want to open the link below for H1N1 information.
