Welcome Back!
Welcome back to the 2019-20 school year! We are so excited to see your students. We have had a wonderful day! As a parent, I have two very different kids...one will tell me everything down to the last detail of her day. My son will tell me everything was "good." Here are some ideas for striking up conversation about school from Motherly:
