BE THE SAFE LANDING SPOT! 🦅

For the grown-ups of dysregulated students, especially those kindergarteners, it’s normal.

Being a kid around other kid’s energy can be just as tiring as it is for adults. Multiply that by class size. Your student has used up their energy listening, learning, being kind, and being quiet.

Does your child hold it together all day at school, only to explode the minute they walk through the front door? 🚪💥

This is called Post-School Restraint Collapse. After hours of masking and keeping up with high sensory demands, home is the safe space where their nervous system finally unloads. As an Educational Psychologist, I’ve put together a guide on how to create a restorative "landing zone" after school.

👉 Comment GUIDE below and I’ll send the guide over to you!

Super chic to pick up FREE pallets from Alexander Wilson Elementary. 💅

For your next project or to take a roadtrip to the Alamance Landfill. We don't care. We would just love for them to go missing.

📍Can be found under the breezeway between the front building and gymnasium.

JOIN US THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST 15TH, TO HELP US GET OUR CAMPUS READY FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR.

8am-12pm, Campus Beautification- Front of School & Walkways

DID YOU KNOW??? Campus yard care falls to the PTO, teachers, and generous community members that volunteer their time.

This includes:
- purchasing and spreading mulch,
- trimming trees that overhang buildings and parking lots,
- trimming hedges and bushes,
- maintaining the butterfly garden, planting flowers,
- pulling weeds and vines,
- picking up trash, and so much more!

The school system regularly maintains the grass being mowed but the rest is up to all of us! See the attached list for this weekend's focus areas. And invite your family and friends.
