Lloyd Memorial High School
Youth Service Center

Message from Glass/Bird/Moore- We miss you!

A lot has changed since we last saw each other and it’s all been a bit overwhelming. We want to make sure that you are all doing well in this time of uncertainty and have the resources that you will need while away from Lloyd.

 

The district has been sending emails about support and services available to all families. See below for those website links.

 

While we are away from school, it will be important to keep a routine while you are at home. The goal of the NTI days and staying out of the building is to keep distance between people, but that doesn’t mean that you have to close yourself off from staying connected. Below are some tips that we think will be helpful over the next few weeks.

 

  • Stay connected

    • Have real phone conversations with family and friends or reach out through FaceTime/video chats, write letters/cards/emails, play board games with your family, and/or spend time with your pets,

  • Be mindful of media intake

    • Limit exposure to sources that increase anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear and anger.

    • Stick to content that helps you feel hopeful, happy, calm, connected and inspired.

  • Set a schedule and get dressed everyday

    • We know it’s tempting to live life in sweatpants or yoga pants…we are doing that too :), but to avoid getting into a slump, maybe try a new exercise routine (YouTube and free apps on your phone have great workouts). The weather is getting nice as well, so this is a good time to head outside to enjoy the sunshine. Sunlight and fresh air are very therapeutic and we could all use some stress relief right now!

  • Have a place in your house that will be your work space. This may help you feel some resemblance to school and routine.

  • Use coping skills if you are nervous, anxious, angry or feeling overwhelmed.

    • Coloring, journaling, drawing, listening to happy music, reading an uplifting book, watching uplifting TV or a movie

 

This will be our new reality for a while and it will be an adjustment. Adjustments can be difficult, but you will all persevere and flourish. We look forward to hearing from you all, even if it’s a quick email to say hello. Let us know how you are spending your time and if you have any questions. Parents and guardians, please reach out if you have any questions during this time of uncertainty or just to say hello. Take a deep breath and be well!

 

-From- Mrs. Bird, Mrs. Glass and Mrs. Moore
