Families,

I hope you all had a safe and restful break. As you all may know, children are intrigued by electronic devices. As a result, many children are spending way too much time in front of digital screens. This passive screen time may negatively impact your child’s academic progress, as it is linked to poor social development, behavioral problems, irregular sleep, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to limit the amount of time your child spends in front of the screen. Geer Park School has launched it’s “No Screen” initiative. This initiative entails that children should not use electronic devices Monday-Friday, EXCEPT for homework purposes. Please monitor your child’s screen time during homework. Remember technology is valuable when used appropriately, but it does not and should not replace opportunities for unstructured play, meaningful conversations at the dinner table, reading bedtime stories, and so on. Together, we can help our beautiful children succeed. THANK YOU!

Today we celebrated 100 days of learning! 

Have a wonderful break!

Dear families,

We are celebrating the hundredth day of school this Friday, February 17, 2017. We have lots of engaging activities planned for the day. We would like to invite the students to dress up like they are 100 years old. Get creative with glasses, hair, and outfits! We cannot wait to celebrate 100 days of learning!
