Child Safety: Empowering Your Child with Vital Safety Skills We’re excited to introduce the newly formatted ParentGuidance.org Mental Health Newsletter, which is easy to read, download, and share! This month’s issue focuses on helping children stay safe in today’s world. From online safety to emergency preparedness, you’ll find practical tips to help children feel confident and protected, especially during summer months when they're out and about. English: https://5il.co/3kgjf Spanish: https://5il.co/3kgjh

Parents of student-athletes, As we work through the first few weeks of summer, please make sure that you are scheduling your annual physical for your student-athlete each year so that they are eligible to compete in activities throughout the school year. It is required that an annual physical is done and signed off for each student-athlete to compete in grades 6th-12th. We recommend that you do this over the summer and get it renewed now instead of waiting until the sports season is about to start. Attached below is a link to the form that needs to be completed and returned to the school or uploaded to your student-athlete's account in Bound. https://5il.co/3jna4 Please reach out to MS/HS Principal/Activities Director Julie Eppard at Julie.Eppard@K12.SD.US with any questions.

Spread the word about the All School Reunion on July 25th! Please come join the fun!

In this newsletter, you’ll find strategies to help maintain healthy routines, encourage social interaction, and set boundaries for screen time. We’re also sharing simple ways parents can support a smooth transition into summer. English Edition: https://5il.co/3g9xl Spanish Edition: https://5il.co/3g9xo We’re excited to provide valuable resources, including ParentGuidance.org - a platform designed to help you navigate your child’s emotional well-being with expert insights and practical tools.
