K8 Weekly Memo

Greetings and welcome back to school! I hope that your spring break was restful and enjoyable. I had the pleasure of meeting some of our students over the weekend, and their enthusiasm to return to school was truly heartwarming. It's wonderful to see such positive attitudes towards learning!


As we return to a structured day and learning environment, it's important to remember that this transition can be challenging for our students...and staff.  I encourage you to take the time to re-establish routines and expectations, and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all. Try incorporating interactive activities and games that review what was learned before the break to make the process more engaging.


I am excited to see everyone this morning, and I will make every effort to visit each of your classrooms.

Hand Washing

With the transition to warmer weather, springtime often brings an increase in outdoor activities and social interactions, potentially increasing exposure to germs. By emphasizing thorough handwashing technique, school leaders and teachers can empower their students with a simple yet effective practice to help minimize the spread of infections caused by germs. Here are the five proper steps for handwashing: 

  • WET hands with water.

  • LATHER hands with soap.

  • SCRUB the front and back of hands and between fingers for 20 seconds. 

  • RINSE hands with water. 

  • DRY hands completely.
