🎒 Back to school means back to routines!
Everyday moments like getting dressed, unpacking backpacks, and talking about the school day can build communication, independence, and emotional skills. 💚
Little routines build big skills! ✏️📚

As classrooms begin reopening and families settle into new routines, this is also a good time to pay attention to the things you may have wondered about before summer.

Is my child struggling more than expected?
Should I talk to the teacher?
Can I request an evaluation?
Are there support options for my child outside of the classroom?
Do I need a diagnosis before asking for help?
What can I do while I’m waiting for the school process?

We created this guide for USVI parents and caregivers to make those first steps a little easier to understand.

💚 Save it for later, share it with another parent, and remember: concern is enough to start the conversation.
Wishing our students, families, teachers, and school teams a supported start to the 2026–2027 school year. 🌴📚

💗📖 Getting Ready for Valentine’s Day Story Time 📖💗

In the days leading up to Valentine’s Day, try a cozy story activity that builds language and connection with very little prep. There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose is a fun, silly Valentine-themed story that kids love.

🎥 Watch together here:
👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewNyVQFNfEE

As you watch, pause and talk about the story:
• “What did she swallow first?”
• “What do you think will happen next?”
• “Was that silly or surprising?”
• “Can you tell me the story again?”

Younger kids can point, label, or repeat words. Older kids can practice retelling the story in order or making predictions.
A simple way to build comprehension, sequencing, memory, and expressive language — all while getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit. 💕
