Dear Parents and Guardians,
Your involvement is critical to your
child's success at school. The following are some useful tips to ensure both
you and your child have a positive school year:
1. Develop good homework/study habits
right away. Establish routines and be consistent.
2. Spend time each day to dicuss your
child's day at school. Express interest in what they are saying and listen to
their viewpoint even if you're not in agreement.
3. Do your part to develop a positive
relationship with your child's teacher. Be sure to introduce yourself or send
a friendly e-mail informing them of the best way and time to reach you.
4. Give your child responsibilities at
home to help build independence, responsibility, and self assurance.
5. Monitor the time and content of
television and computer use. Try to limit this activity, especially when the
weather is nice outside. Encourage your children to get outdoors and take in
the fresh air!
If you want any further details about
these tips or others, feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Schwam, LSW
