Somedays getting out of bed is easier said than done and the same holds true for young children. With the school year beginning this week, Principal Beth Wickenhauser, advises setting a routine.

 

 

 

Wickenhauser says to pick a bedtime and stick to it. Through experience, she has noticed that parents, specifically of young children, don't necessarily understand how many hours of sleep a kindergartener needs and how it affects the child at school.

 

Not only does missing school affect your child, it also affects the school. The school has to report absences to the state. Those absences effect resources.

 

 

 

The first day of school for kindergarten and first grader is August 22. August 23 is the first day for pre-school. For more information visit www.cusd15.org.
