Dear JLM Families, 

As I sit here and write this message, the air is warm and Spring seems to be right around the corner! The onset of a new season also brings more activities that tend to occupy our evenings. As your calendar fills in the upcoming months, be sure to set time aside for your “Big Rocks.” Big rocks should include spending time together as a family by reading a book, playing catch, or even going for a walk with your child. 

Recently I read a quote that said, “Your children will become who you are: so be who you want them to be.” This was a great reminder that our kids are watching and soaking in everything we say and do. I ask you to remember this quote while you are sitting in the parent drop off/pick up line. If you are getting frustrated and yelling at the people around you, your child will think that is the correct way to handle frustration. Instead, use this time to talk to your kiddo about handling frustration in a positive manner.

March 13 is a VERY exciting day! This is the day that Kindergarten enrollment will begin! If you have a child (or know someone who has a child) that will be 5 years old on or before July 31, 2024, this day is for them! For more information, please visit go.FZSD.us/Kindergarten

I hope you all have an amazing month! As always, if you have any celebrations or concerns, please reach out to me.

Most Sincerely, 

Dr. Stephanie Mountain
