Attendance is extremely important to your child. Good attendance can be one of the determining factors in how well your child will perform in school for years to come. Please make sure that your child is on time for school and attends every day. Keep your child home only if they are sick. Please make all non-emergency doctor's appointments after school. It is my goal to be sure that each of your children are successful. With your support we will provide your child the necessary learning experience. A million thanks you!!!

Supporting your child's learning at home can have a significant positive impact on their education. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

1. Designate a Learning Space: Create a dedicated, organized, and quiet space for your child to study and do homework. This will help them focus and associate the space with learning.

2. Establish a Routine: Consistency is key. Set a daily schedule for study time, breaks, meals, and relaxation to provide structure and balance.

3. Set Goals: Help your child set specific goals for what they want to achieve academically. It could be completing a certain number of assignments, improving a specific skill, or reading a certain number of books.

4. Communicate with Teachers: Stay in touch with your child's teachers to understand their curriculum, expectations, and progress. Regular communication can help you provide appropriate support.
   

5. Encourage Reading: Foster a love for reading by having a variety of books at home. Set aside time for reading, and discuss what they've read to improve comprehension.

6. Hands-On Learning: Incorporate practical activities related to what they're learning. For instance, if they're studying science, conduct simple experiments at home..

7. Teach Time Management: Help your child learn to manage their time effectively. This skill will serve them well both in school and life.

8. Celebrate Achievements: Recognize and celebrate your child's achievements, whether big or small. Positive reinforcement boosts their motivation.

9. Support Problem Solving: Encourage critical thinking by discussing problems or scenarios that relate to their subjects. This can enhance their analytical skills.

10. Learning Through Play: Integrate learning into games and activities. Board games, puzzles, and educational toys can be both fun and educational.

11. Emphasize Self-Care: Teach your child the importance of breaks, physical activity, and sleep for optimal learning and overall well-being.

Remember, every child is unique, so tailor these suggestions to their learning style and preferences. By showing enthusiasm for learning and providing a supportive environment, you can make a significant impact on your child's educational journey.

We will be holding out Title I Parent Information Nights as part of each building's open house.

Title I is a federal program that provides funding for instructional services and activities. These supports help students in meeting state academic performance standards, and closing performance and opportunity gaps.
