Deep Run Storytime
Join us for an hour of parent learning. Members of our student services team will share valuable information during the third session of our Title I Learning Series. Managing emotions is a skill that can be learned! In this session, we will give parents strategies to help children match the size of their problem to their reaction and to develop a box of "tools" that children can use to calm down when they are upset.

Your child/children should have brought home an information envelope this week in their Wednesday (January 29th). More information about our event will be coming out next week in a canvas announcement.
