Dear Blossomwood Families,
Thank you again for all of your help at home as we all learn how to make each day a valuable one. We encourage students to get smarter each day and make each day count which includes reading for 15-20 minutes each night at home. #WinTheDay
We have had several parents ask for some advice on how to help their students at home. Here are a few tips that might enhance your child's learning experience each day:
- Find a quiet, comfortable location in your home to learn/work in each day.
- Establish some routines; including going to bed and getting up at the same time (Mon.-Fri.).
- Provide a level of supervision suitable to your child's age or stage of development.
- Refrain from doing the thinking/work for your child. For example, think or struggle time is often part of the learning process. This is so difficult for us adults.
- Monitor how much time your child is spending online. Frequent breaks can be helpful.
Fall School Pictures
The portraits that will go into our school's yearbook will be taken on Friday, August 31. A make-up date of October 26 has been arranged in case your child is absent. Please note that with all of the portrait sales, a percentage of your purchase goes back to support Blossomwood.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school or the photographer. Again this year Greg Machen Photography in Madison will be taking the portraits. Their contact information is 256-461-0827.
Our Students Need You
If you would like to volunteer and become more involved at Blossomwood, please reach out to our parent coordinator, Ms. Tesha Crump. She will be glad to help find a role just for you! In fact, part of her role as parent coordinator includes establishing a parent advisory committee, hosting parent events, leading parent trainings, building relationships with all parents in our school, and acting as a liaison between the parent community and the school.
