INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES
Tsawwassen Community Pantry
The Community Pantry is a barrier-free food pantry that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days per year. Located at Benediction Lutheran Church. It provides a simple, welcoming, and dignified way for people in our community to access food when they need it. Other items that we keep in stock are baby foods, pet foods and basic items such as toothbrushes and personal hygiene products. The pantry serves people of all ages who are experiencing food insecurity, with a particular focus on supporting people right here in Tsawwassen.
Are you noticing that your child is more tired than usual or not following routines they had down pat in August?
As children return to the classroom, it’s important to remember these words of advice from one of our PH teachers:
“The beginning of the school year is very tiring and taxing on the brains of children. There are a lot of new routines to learn, new friends to connect with, and stamina to build for the long days of needing to listen and focus. We tend to underestimate the energy it takes to use our brains in school. The first few weeks of school are exhausting for me until I build up my stamina, so I imagine it is even more difficult for the little ones. With continued routines at school and at home, limited screen time, and consistent early bedtimes, I am sure your child will continue to build his/ her/ their stamina for the long days and return to his/ her/ their typical behaviours. I might also add that it is not unusual for children to temporarily “forget “old routines as they are learning new information and building new routines. Their working memory needs time to catch up.”
Student Vacations during the School Year
Please understand that teachers are not required to provide study materials/assignments for students who are away on vacation during school days. Students may read everyday, keep a travel journal with facts related to the destination (in full sentences and/or well written paragraphs) and practice math facts (extension: math related word problems). Happy travels!
