    COVID TEST BEFORE RETURNING TO SCHOOL MONDAY APR 10
     
    Updated COVID 19 Guidelines
    Main guidance remains:  For Covid+, stay home THROUGH day 5 (+test day = day 0).  New guidance: If no symptoms or symptoms are mild and improving, students may return to school without testing but are asked to mask THROUGH day 10. If students have 2 negative tests one day apart, they no longer need to mask.
     
    It’s (not) just WEED: Is your child getting “crossed”?
    Please read HERE and HERE about what that means.
     
    Substance use prevention:
    What is vaping?
     
    This week’s recipe: Dumpling Stew I made this recipe this week and it was DELICIOUS!  (modifications included using WF Cauliflower Gnocchi–yum!). Even though it’s officially spring, it’s still “soup and stew” weather.
     
    I encourage you to eat more “plant-forward”. Check out the Nutrition page on my website, where I have some great Quick-Start Guides. Let me know what you think!

    Snowballs or Avalanches: Which ones are more dangerous?
    The answer: Both can be!
    “As parents and guardians, it’s important to watch for both avalanches and snowballs for ourselves as well in our teens' lives, as certain times in their lives may be more risky.  Transitions or significant life events/traumas are a known factor that plays into depression and increases suicide risk for children and teens.”
     
    Please read an important message here from Dr. Yanni Rho, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. Included is what to watch for in our teens, tips for checking in with our teens and important resources to support teens and parents.
