Walk into our 1st grade classroom and you won't see erasers on the pencils. Why? Because there's no such thing as a mistake in 1st grade, only an opportunity to grow your brain. This sign hangs in a hallway here to remind us all that we don't have to be perfect to be amazing.

Big shout-out to our nurse and several other colleagues who got up early on a Sunday morning to stand outside in the icy, cold, pouring rain & administer covid tests to every staff member & student in the school community. We appreciate how hard you're working to keep us healthy!

"We all can move in the direction of being a non-anxious presence. If your child is having a hard time, you want to radiate calm, to say: 'We can't know for sure, but we're confident this can work out.'" --Ned Johnson (who got a great turnout for his talk at Sheridan School tonight)!
