Happy September!
I wanted to welcome everyone back to school, in whatever way that looks for you and your family. September is always a time of excitement and a bit of apprehension about the unknown. Excitement to be back at school but also filled with questions. Who will be my new teacher, will I be in a class with my friends, what is this grade going to be like? It is a time of change and change can be difficult.
I think that this is especially true this year as we navigate Covid-19 and the start up to the school year. Parents and caregivers may also have some questions about what this school year might look like. I am excited to be working with you all again, to build some exciting and fun programs for your kids, help navigate these challenges and questions, and solve the problems that invariably creep up……together.
I am attaching the following resource to help with some of our students who might be having some big feelings and might be missing caregivers. Below you will find some ideas on how to help students get really excited for the school year and to help ease any anxiety they might be feeling being away from their caregivers.
As always if you are needing any support please don’t hesitate to be in touch with me at scott.anderson@burnabyschools.ca. I am really looking forward to a great school year!
