“How was school today?” is a great place to start, but sometimes a different question can open the door to a bigger conversation! 💚🐸

Asking children about their feelings, friendships, challenges, and favorite moments helps build the social-emotional skills they need to thrive, both in and out of the classroom.

And when big feelings lead to challenging moments, having the right words and strategies makes all the difference!

🍎 FREE RESOURCE: Our What to Do in the Moment: SED Response Cards include 12 printable cards with practical, age-appropriate strategies for supporting infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and Pre-K children through everyday social-emotional moments. Give your educators tools they can turn to when it matters most!

🌾 Rice Festival Fun in PreK! 🌾

Mrs. Meghan’s PreK kiddos had a great time learning about rice harvesting during Rice Festival week! 🚜🌾 They got to see and touch rice freshly cut from the field and even enjoyed tasting some yummy treats made from rice, including Rice Krispie treats and rice cakes! 🌾💛💚

🍎 Attendance Matters — Even in Pre-K! 🍎

Did you know that regular attendance is important long before kindergarten?

Every day in Pre-K is filled with opportunities for children to learn, grow, and build important skills. When children attend school regularly, they are:

📚 Building early literacy and math skills
🗣️ Growing their language and communication skills
🤝 Learning how to work, play, and problem-solve with others
⭐ Building confidence and independence
⏰ Developing routines and attendance habits that will follow them into elementary school and beyond

In early childhood, so much learning happens through conversations, play, hands-on activities, songs, stories, and interactions with teachers and friends. Every day really does matter!

This September, the Acadia Early Childhood Network is celebrating Attendance Awareness Month by reminding our families that strong attendance habits start early. 💛

📣APSB Celebrates Attendance Awareness Month 📣

Every school day counts for success in the classroom!

As we highlight attendance awareness, the Acadia Parish School Board reminds families that regular attendance is essential for every student's academic progress. Showing up on time every single day helps children stay on track, build strong learning habits, and connect with their teachers and peers.

Parents and guardians can easily track daily attendance and stay up to date using the Student Progress Center portal. Let's work together to support our students and make this school year a great success!
