It has been a real pleasure to meet individually with our students over the last couple of weeks.
The most common theme we are hearing from the students is that they, and some of their family, including the adults have been struggling with sleep and routines during the pandemic. Below are some links to some websites that provide useful information and tips on establishing an effective sleep pattern:
