Tips when Staying at Home
Children need routine - Try to keep a regular bedtime and wake time. Set aside time for reading, chores, being outside.
Keep up to date - Check the Tekoa School District website and Facebook page daily. Use the links at top of page for state and national information on COVID-19.
Take time together - Enjoy our spring weather outside. Be sure to keep social distance if leaving when you are outside. Play a game, read a book together, create a fort, cook a new recipe.
