Many of the students at the UFT Charter School are not getting enough sleep. Sometimes they fall asleep in the classroom or are very irritable.  According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, sleep recommendations for school-age children and teenagers have changed and kids might not be getting enough rest.  The National Sleep Foundation found that kids who do not get enough sleep do not do as well in school and tend to have more behavior problems. Kids who do not rest well are at risk for obesity, frequent illness and autoimmune problems, too.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends elementary school-age kids get 10 to 11 hours of sleep until they are 10 years old or older, after that they need 8.5 to 9.25 hours daily.

One of the most helpful ways to help children sleep is to establish a regular bedtime.  A restful environment without much noise and light is also a good thing.  Many kids stay up to watch TV.  Parents need to help their children schedule TV viewing so that it ends before their bedtime.

CREST Chant

It’s called the CREST
We have to do it
Every time we come to school
We need to get to it
We need to get to it

Community, together we stand, unified, all the time lending a hand.

Its about Respect, it’s important you see, when I give it to you, you give it to me.

Let’s talk Excellence, outstanding, we’ll be, because I am a star for all to see

We have Scholarship; academics are high, every single day we reach for the sky.

Trustworthiness, please don’t forget it.  Rely on each other to get real connected.
