Principals' Message Dear CMS Families,
We hope this newsletter finds you all well. As spring break draws near, we'd like to share with you some information regarding two different school worlds: student technology and student mental health.
Here are the steps to take related to the most common tech problems that students face: The second part of this message is about student mental health. Last week, in our newsletter, we included information about how to contact the members of our Student Services Team. Our team includes grade level counselors and a social worker. Since being away from school during this uncertain time is difficult for many children, we wanted to share this information again. Please be mindful in the days ahead that children can experience increased levels of anxiety, sadness, frustration, and fear related to everything in their lives from missing out on daily contact with friends, to all of the new emotions they are feeling related to the pandemic.
Grade 6: Ross Nelson, Ross.Nelson@wayzataschools.org, 763-745-6016
Next week's newsletter will include specifics about how to engage in eLearning.
Have a wonderful spring break!
Clark Doten and Ashley Farrington
