Most parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children’s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don’t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time.

Due to the severe weather, District 70 is offering an Early 7 AM Drop-Off at all the schools on Tuesday, Jan. 21st.
The Early Drop-Off is open to families wanting to get their children to school early instead of taking the bus, or for those who want to drive their children to school early. Buses will also be running, so please feel free to have children take the bus or drive them to school at the usual time, or take your assigned bus.
Adolescents are hardwired to explore and grow, and learning is mainly how they do this. But a shocking majority of teens are disengaged from school, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. This is feeding an alarming teen mental health crisis. As kids get older and more independent, parents often feel powerless to help. But fear not, there are evidence-backed strategies to guide them from disengagement to drive, in and out of school. Join us for a virtual evening of insights and inspiration to learn about Disengaged Teens: Helping children learn better, feel better, and live better!
