Ms. Bell's Briefings

As we reach the halfway point of March, this is a great time for a gentle spring refresh of routines at home and school. The novelty of the school year has worn off, and students often benefit from small resets around organization, bedtime consistency, and homework habits. Encouraging your child to clean out their binder, refresh their supplies, or create a simple weekly checklist can make a big difference in their confidence and readiness each day. A steady routine—especially with sleep—helps students stay focused and energized during a busy time of year. Thank you for partnering with us to help your 6th graders finish the year strong!
