Title One / Guidance Corner:
Parent Tips:
Excellent Attendance
Being in school every day means your child won’t miss out on learning. Try to schedule appointments and family trips outside of school hours. If your child asks to stay home “just because,” remind them of what they’ll miss, such as a reading group or PE class. Explain that they can be absent only if they are sick or if there’s a family emergency
Reading Corner:
Parent Tips:
8/21 is National Senior Citizen Day. Historical account: Allow your child to talk with a senior (age 60+) to learn about their life. This aids in listening comprehension.
