How was school today?

 WELCOME BACK!

We are off to a great start to the new school year at San Pablo Elementary!

Now more than even, it is important to check in with your child to see how they are doing with school and how they are feeling about the transition back to school.  I'm sure we've all had the experience where we ask, "How was school?" and get the reply, "Ok," or "Good," and still know nothing about how school actually went for the day.  Try some of these questions to see if you can get a better picture of how your child's day actually goes. If you or your child needs support, please contact your school counselor. 🥰
