At Collage Day School, student wellbeing extends beyond the classroom. Preparing for hurricane season is an important part of helping children feel safe, confident, and ready to respond in emergency situations.

By involving children in age-appropriate preparedness activities, families can transform emergency planning into an engaging learning experience. Creating an emergency supply kit together, practicing evacuation routes, and discussing family safety plans help children understand the importance of preparation while reducing anxiety about severe weather.

Simple hands-on activities, such as exploring weather science through experiments or reading books about storms, can also spark curiosity while reinforcing valuable safety lessons. These experiences encourage children to ask questions, build problem-solving skills, and develop confidence in unfamiliar situations.

Collage Day School believes that strong partnerships between home and school help students thrive. By promoting practical preparedness and resilience, families can create a positive foundation for navigating hurricane season together.
