Hi Parents,

As we move into these lovely days of increased sunlight, just a reminder to you that it's still important for your student to get a full night of sleep.  Numerous studies have shown that there's a direct correlation between adequate sleep and the ability to do well in school.  The more well-rested your child is, the better they'll be able to perform during the school day.  Simply put, more sleep = more learning!

Below are a few websites that discuss the sleep needs of children, adolescents, and teenagers.  Hope you'll check them out.
