Let’s go to school tonight!

Attending evening events at school is a good way for you and your child to get more involved. Plus, she’ll be happy to show you the place where she spend her day. Consider  these suggestions:

Check the school calendar for talent shows, musicals and plays. Try to go whether or not your youngster is performing. She’ll get to see her friends  on stage and perhaps be inspired to join in next year.

Keep an eye out for parent education nights. Special programs on Internet safety or ADHD, for example, can help you with difficult issues.

Go to a curriculum event. A literacy or math night, science fair, or cultural celebration lets your child share what she is studying in school – and the two of you can learn something new  together.

 

 

 

ABSENCES IN EARLY GRADES HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON SCHOOL SUCCESS

Missing school in the early grades can have an impact throughout your child’s school years.  New studies show that often, these early absences create a cascading effect from which your child can never recover.

The early grades are where students learn and master the basics. Without that strong foundation, they may face learning problems throughout their schooling.  Children who miss just one day of school every two  weeks in kindergarten score lower in reading, math and other knowledge. At the end  of first grade. They never make up the learning they missed.

Early absences also set a pattern. Kids who get in the habit of missing school early continue that pattern. That leads them to miss even more learning. So the cycle continues. And studies consistently show that missing school is one of the strongest predictors of dropping out in high school.

Remember, your child can’t learn if she’s not in school. So be sure you and your child take school attendance seriously. She should attend school every day, unless there is an emergency or unless she is sick.

Volunteering for success

 

 

So you don't have time to be a room mother. Does that mean you can't be a school volunteer? A volunteer is anybody, anytime, any place, who supports school goals or children's learning. That means you can consider yourself a "school volunteer".

Did you know that when parents are involved in their children's education, schools and communities grow stronger?  Ask your youngster's teacher how you can help in the classroom or school. Your involvement will make a difference.
