Our Principal

Dear Parents,

Happy new year, and welcome back!

When I was young, watching our favorite shows meant sitting through commercials—an exercise in patience we all had to endure. In today’s fast-paced, on-demand world, however, the concept of waiting has all but disappeared. This shift makes it more important than ever to help children develop long-term goals and understand the value of delayed gratification. With instant access to technology and endless conveniences, many young people miss out on the rewards that come with patience and perseverance. As parents and educators, we play a crucial role in guiding them toward these vital skills, ensuring they are prepared for challenges and successes in the future.

Start by encouraging your child to react on their interests and aspirations, helping them identify meaningful goals—whether academic, social, physical, or behavioral. Once a goal is chosen, work with them to break it into smaller, manageable steps. These milestones allow them to track progress and celebrate small victories, keeping them motivated. Discuss potential challenges they may face and brainstorm solutions to foster resilience and problem-solving skills.

A tracking system, such as a chart or journal, can further reinforce the connection between effort and results. While your guidance is essential, giving children the space and independence to pursue their goals is equally important. This helps them build self-discipline, responsibility, and a sense of ownership in their success.

By supporting our children in this way, we can help them experience the satisfaction of achieving meaningful goals over time. Together, we can instill the values of patience, perseverance, and the fulfillment that comes from working toward something worthwhile.

Thank you for your continued partnership in helping our children grow and thrive.
