💡 Tip of the Week: Supporting Executive Functioning Skills
Executive functioning refers to the mental skills that help us plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks. These skills are essential for learning and everyday life.
Try this at home:
Help your child build routines by using visual schedules or checklists. For example, a simple morning checklist (brush teeth, pack lunch, check backpack) can help them feel more organized and independent.
We’ll continue to share tips like this to support learning both at school and at home!
💬 Our Appreciation
A heartfelt thank you to all the parents and guardians who joined us for our recent school assembly. Your presence and involvement mean so much to our students and staff. It’s always wonderful to see our school community come together to celebrate learning and growth. Congrats to the students who were recognized this month! Thanks to the families who brought in baked goods for our Spring Tea as well. What a special event!
Let’s continue to work together to make Cayley School a place where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired.
Warm regards,
Griffin
