Practical Tips for Students to Manage Stress and Anxiety During the Back-to-School Transition: 1. Create a Routine: Establish a daily schedule that includes time for schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and relaxation. Consistency can help reduce uncertainty and stress. 2. Set Realistic Goals: Break down your tasks into manageable steps and set achievable goals. This can make large projects or busy schedules feel less overwhelming. 3. Stay Organized: Use planners, calendars, or apps to keep track of assignments, deadlines, and activities. Staying organized can help you feel more in control. 4. Practice Time Management: Prioritize your tasks and avoid procrastination. Allocate specific times for studying, breaks, and leisure to maintain a balanced schedule. 5. Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep each night. A well-rested mind and body can handle stress better and improve overall performance. 6. Stay Active: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and improve your mood. Even a short walk or quick exercise routine can make a difference. 7. Eat Healthily: Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugary foods, which can increase anxiety. 8. Practice Mindfulness and Relaxation: Engage in activities like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. These practices can help calm your mind and reduce stress. 9. Connect with Others: Talk to friends, family, or a trusted adult about your feelings. Sharing your thoughts can provide relief and perspective. 10. Limit Screen Time: Take breaks from screens, especially social media, which can sometimes contribute to stress. Engage in offline activities you enjoy. 11. Seek Help When Needed: If you feel overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out to your school counselor or a mental health professional. Seeking support is a proactive step towards managing stress. 12. Stay Positive: Focus on your strengths and achievements. Maintain a positive outlook and practice self-compassion, especially during challenging times. ***Remember, managing stress is a skill that takes practice. Implementing these tips can help you navigate the back-to-school transition more smoothly and maintain your well-being. #BackToSchool #StressManagement #StudentWellbeing

The Importance of Mental Health for Students Maintaining good mental health is crucial for students' overall well-being and academic success. Mental health affects how students think, feel, and act, influencing their ability to handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Prioritizing mental health can lead to improved concentration, better grades, and stronger relationships. It also helps prevent issues such as anxiety and depression from interfering with daily life. If you or someone you know needs support, check out these valuable resources: https://mhanational.org/mental-health-resources-parents https://www.samhsa.gov/families/parent-caregiver-resources https://www.acf.hhs.gov/behavioral-health/parents-caregivers/mental-health-resources-parents-and-caregivers https://www.thecheckinproject.org/mental-health-resources-for-parents https://www.aap.org/en/patient-care/mental-health-initiatives/mental-health-resources-for-families/ Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. Your mental health matters! #MentalHealthMatters #StudentWellbeing

If you have any fair projects that need entered and want Mrs. Junghanns to take them please make sure they are to the ag building by 3:30 today.

Happy Labor Day!

Just a reminder there will be no school for students this Friday or Monday. Enjoy the long weekend!

Please contact Mrs Junghanns as soon as possible if your child plans to show livestock, chickens, rabbits, or horses at the county fair next week! Remember, if you are going to show in the spring you have to have an entry at the fair next week! It can be indoors or livestock but they have to be entered!
