At this time of year, it is a good idea to talk with your children about cold weather safety. Extra care is needed especially in younger children to be sure that frostbite does not occur. The weather is expected to be very cold this weekend — Please stay warm Cougars!
• Make sure all children including teenagers have appropriate outerwear every day. Warm jackets, hats, scarves, boots, and an extra pair of gloves in their pockets will protect them during extremely cold temperatures.
• Develop an emergency plan and review it with your children in case you are not home so they know how to get help and what the dangers and risks of extreme weather are.
Advise your child to seek help if they have:
• Wet clothing boots or gloves, snow or ice next to bare skin which cannot be removed.
• Pain or numbness or burning anywhere on their skin (especially hands, feet, ears, or nose).
• To limit outdoor exposure on days where the temperatures are extremely cold.
Teach your child about:
• When to ask for help.
• Where to find safe shelter in an emergency.
• Who is the designated adult to go to in your neighborhood if they need help.
• How to protect themselves with proper winter clothing.
• The danger signs of frostbite.

Last week, our new Middle School History Club held their monthly meeting, and it was an inspiring one! Students learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his powerful impact on the Civil Rights Movement, and how his message of peaceful protest helped create lasting change.
To connect history with action, students created beautiful “stained-glass” style hearts, a meaningful symbol to keep or share with someone as a reminder of the importance of kindness, peace, and unity.
As Dr. King reminded us:
💬 “Be kind to all mankind.” — Martin Luther King Jr.
📅 Our next Middle School History Club meeting will be Monday, February 9th, after school! We can’t wait to see even more students join us as we continue learning, creating, and making connections through history! 🏛️🐾

Just because yesterday's Regents exams were postponed doesn’t mean you can forget about them! And there are more exams coming up this week. Here are 5 tips to help prepare your mind and body for your upcoming tests:
1️⃣ Light Review
Avoid extensive cramming. Review vocabulary or outlines, and don’t try to learn new material at the last minute.
2️⃣ Review an Old Test
Skim through a past Regents exam to familiarize yourself with the types of questions you may see.
3️⃣ Relax Your Brain
Take a shower, listen to music, or try meditation to help reduce stress.
4️⃣ Get Enough Sleep
Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep. Being well-rested is more effective than last-minute cramming.
5️⃣ Eat a Good Breakfast
A long, challenging exam like the Regents is much harder on an empty stomach.
You’ve got this—good luck on your upcoming exams! 💪📚#StudentInfluncerJakob #ValleyProud
