Thank you for joining our school family

School is off to a great start and the teachers, staff and I want to commend you parents on a job well done. You have prepared your child for a successful transition to school. I imagine you are feeling as proud and relieved as we are.  Getting young children ready to make a major change to their daily routine can seem overwhelming, but you all did it beautifully!  For your efforts I give you my gratitude and appreciation. We will work diligently as a team throughout the year for your child's optimal school experience. One of the tenants of our philosophy is to develop a sense of belonging in each child.  This sense of belonging, like in a family, will develop empathy and motivation in each child.  These emotional and social skills will lay the foundation on which optimal learning occurs. There are a myriad of other benefits as well which we will discuss in more detail at our parent discussion groups.  Here is a link to a brief video of the Conscious Discipline basics by Dr. Becky Bailey.  Please take a minute to watch this video to learn more about our approach to classroom management and join us on Sept. 21st at 8:15am to learn more. Video: Conscious Discipline Basics
Gratefully,
Becky and the WCS early childhood team
