I have a five year old of my own who often answers with “good” or “I don’t remember”. Thankfully someone has thought of a bunch of questions that are sure to inspire much more exciting answers from your kids! Give it a try!

Welcome to another school year!
Hello Aubrey and Rosser students, staff and parents! It is so exciting to be back at school! This year I am trying something new in an effort to share resources that can help support students, staff and parents in our school communities – a blog! Here I will mostly post information about mental health, parenting and support service resources and events in our community. I will also work to create a parenting board where I will include short articles and information to support parents in a variety of ways. Stay tuned for more as I acquaint myself with this new tool!
