Explaining the News to Your Children
Discussing the news with your kids is a great way to help them think critically about current events and process what they’re seeing. Common Sense Media provides helpful tips for families concerned about the impact of current events on kids. News stories can often be dramatic and may include disturbing images or information. Talking about the news as a family helps everyone stay informed while checking in on how each member is feeling and responding.

Attendance
Did you know…. Regular school attendance is one of the biggest factors that can help your child succeed in life.
If your student is missing more than 2 days of school each month, they are already at risk of being off track.
For more information about the importance of attendance and district attendance policies, go to https://www.canyonsdistrict.org/policies/student/enrollment/500-35/. If you need support in getting your student to school regularly, please reach out to us so we can help!
