Lost and Found

We have been picking up many coats and hoodies on the playground, in hallways, and in the gym. Please consider putting your child’s name in their clothing. We’re happy to return any items we find that have a name inside. If your child has lost an item, ask them to look in our lost and found cabinet on the top floor.

Child and Youth Well-Being:
A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians

CBE educators believe that parents and guardians can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors – in order to do so, they need the right tools and information.

Well-being is a precondition for learning. As our understanding of student well-being continues to evolve, it is important for those that support children and youth to stay up to date on the same information so everyone can support student success. 

The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics.

Thank you for your time and consideration to join us.

Sincerely, 
Christine McCrory
