Thoughts and hints to help the educational process

Read to your child every day!

 Make sure that your child gets plenty of sleep. This ensures that your child will be ready for school each and every morning.

Prepare a healthy and plentiful breakfast for your child each morning.

To save time and fuss in the morning, make sure that your child's lunch, clothes, and back pack are ready the night before. Then all you have to do is 'grab and go'!

Ask your child each evening at meal time how the school day went. This is a great time to have a family conversation. It is also a good time to put a positive spin on education.

Please understand that it may take a bit of time for your child to adjust to the routine of the school day. Make changes in your routine at home if it helps the adjustment period run smoother.

Stress your child's independence both at home and at school. They will need to do things for themselves at school.

Talk to your child about self-control and school rules. It is important that your child understands that they will need to listen at school and they will have their time to talk.

Discipline is something that will be handled in a non-demeaning and fair way.
