Warm Weather Care Team Needs
As the weather gets warmer, the request for deodorant has increased. Please consider donating a few items to the Care Team. We place hygiene items in the female restroom and outside of the Counseling Office for students to take. Another frequently asked for item is toothpaste. We have updated our Amazon wish list to reflect the need.
Don't forget to change the address to Paul Duke when ordering!

Screentime
Screen Time lets you see exactly how much time your kids spend on their phones and tablets, the times of day they're most active, and which apps they use the most. You can also set app time limits, filter inappropriate content, and schedule "downtime" -- basically, shut down the device -- whenever you want.
eTips
Let your teen practice public speaking on you.
Effective presentation skills will help your teen achieve in school and in the workplace. But public speaking takes practice. To help your teen, be an audience. When your student has an oral report to do, suggest presenting it to you first. Ask your teen to make eye contact. Say if you can follow the argument and if your teen is speaking clearly. With practice, your teen will appear confident speaking in front of an audience. https://tpitip.com/?33cM18608
