Below are some tips to help have a wonderful, healthy summer:

Children and teenagers can become anxious when their routines are disrupted by natural disasters such as a hurricane. Parents should try to address those fears in a factual, reassuring manner.  If you remain calm, your children will often follow your behavior.

While we wait for Hurricane Irma, there are resources available:

RB Stewart MS is a hurricane shelter.  Please evacuate if you are in Zone A or need a sturdy structure.

When school resumes, our counseling team will be available to help our students as we recover from the effects of Hurricane Irma.

Proctoring the FSA tests will affect counselor availability for the next 3 weeks (April – May).
