SUGGESTIONS FOR PARENTS
| Focus on your childs strengths. All children, like adults, learn in different ways. | |
| Ask your children about their school day. | |
| Sign your child's agenda and help him or her to remember the routines of school and home. | |
| Encourage your child to read each day or read with them or to them each day. Reading is enjoyable, but it is also hard work for children. Provide your child with encouragement and praise. | |
| Maintain a regular bed time for children. Learning is hard work and it is helpful if children come to school well rested and on time. | |
| Consider giving your children a book as a present. The Scholastic Book order brought home each month has good books and good bargains. | |
| Visit a library with your child routinely. | |
| Contact the teacher if you are concerned about your childs progress. | |
| Sometimes homework may be given or work that is not completed sent home. Please look in the agenda for my note regarding the work and support me in making sure that your child completes it and returns it. |
