Fantastic First Week

We have had a wonderful first week of School at St. Theresa.  We spent a lot of time this week reviewing the basic routines and expectations at the school.  Staff at the school understand how important those routines are to reducing anxiety and to ensuring that students are ready for learning.  Routines are just as important at home as at school.  This is especially true after a long summer of a different kind of routine.  This is the time of year to establish routines for bed times, for homework and for the various responsibilities that your children might have at home.  There is a wealth of information available about the importance of back to school routines at home that help staff at school ensure that your children are calm, alert and ready for learning.

Through this school year, staff will be exploring more about self-regulation and the very important role that self-regulation strategies play in your child's ability to engage in learning.

Here is a link that speaks about the importance of setting back to school routines at home in order to help your child be successful at school.
