Communicating Challenging Topics with Families

Brandywine Heights Virtual Academy students are off to a great start working diligently on their online courses at home and in the High School classroom. Our students take online courses for a variety of reasons, including resolving schedule conflicts, taking career electives, exploring additional world language options, and recovering credits. We wish everyone a great school year!

Start Your Day with Joy — Music Makes a Difference! 🎶

Did you know a simple melody can elevate your mood, reduce stress, and set a positive tone for the entire day? It’s true! Research shows that music has a powerful impact on our brains and well-being—boosting energy, enhancing focus, and soothing emotions. Let’s jam out to a “September Wake Up Songs” playlist to help start each morning on a bright note. Start the day with a beat—tune in, smile, and rise with rhythm! 🕺🎵

🌞 Mindful Moments for August 🌿
As we enter the final month of summer break, it’s the perfect time to slow down, reset, and prepare our minds for the school year ahead. August can be full of mixed emotions—excitement, anxiety, anticipation. This month’s mindfulness calendar offers simple, daily reminders to stay grounded, present, and centered as routines begin to shift.

🗓 Here’s what you can expect:
📌 Gentle daily prompts to help manage transitions
📌 Moments to reflect, breathe, and reconnect
📌 Practices to reduce stress and build resilience before the school year begins
💬 A few examples:
☀️ Aug 2 – Make a paper chain countdown for the start of the school year.
☀️ Aug 6 – Journal: What are you excited for this school year?
☀️ Aug 11 – Practice your morning routine.
☀️ Aug 18 – Charge your Chromebook and get your backpack ready.

Let’s close out summer with presence and purpose.
