SEL Slides __ GRES Title 1 Winter Parent Workshop __ January 2022.pdf
Parents, if you're reading this, consider this your permission form to take a breath. Deep breath in for four seconds...hold for four seconds...breathe out for four seconds...repeat as needed.
These past two years have truly been an exercise in many of the skills we try to model for students every day and it will be together as a school community--a school family-- that we will not only meet the challenges of this circumstance but learn and thrive from it!
You're doing the best that you can and we support you! We know this is rough waters to navigate, but trust yourself and Dr. Seuss said it best when he wrote "Always remember, you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and twice as beautiful as you've ever imagined."
Families, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need additional information on social-emotional learning at home resources, or just someone to talk to as you navigate parenting, working, and teaching your children from home! We have all been on an incredible journey together this past year and it truly is our honor to #GallopToGreatness with you!
