    Your child spends about 1200 hours at school each year.  We encourage you to learn what is happening at school.  Spend time at school to find out first-hand what takes place.
    • Visit our Parent Resources Page.  
    • Make it a point to know the staff members at school.
    • Volunteer at school.
    • Attend conferences with your child’s teacher.
    • Keep a school file for each child, including medical records, pictures, fingerprints, and report cards. You may wish to add other pertinent information.
    • Encourage and Nurture Your Child
    • Treat your child with respect.
    • Build self-esteem. Concentrate on the positive and recognize your child’s efforts, not just his accomplishments. Be your child’s cheerleader as often as you are his/her coach.
    • Recognize your child as an individual and avoid comparisons with other children. Cultivate and appreciate your child’s strengths.
    • Read to your child and with your child. Let your child see you read.
    • Talk with your child about daily activities.
