📚 **Selfridge Public School – Family Connections** 🧡🖤

This month’s **QuaverReady Family Connections Newsletter** focuses on **Self-Awareness**—helping students understand their emotions, recognize their strengths, build confidence, and develop a positive mindset.

Families can help reinforce these important life skills at home by talking with their children about:
⭐ Self-Awareness
⭐ Self-Management
⭐ Social Awareness
⭐ Relationship Skills
⭐ Responsible Decision-Making

We encourage our Selfridge families to check out the newsletter and use the **QR codes** for a fun QuaverReady activity and song to enjoy together!

**Working together—school, students, and families—helps our students succeed!**
