Respectful manners are important at home and school
When a child misbehaves in school, everybody loses. Classroom time must be spent on maintaining order instead of learning. The manners children use at home are the ones they take to school. Expect your child to be considerate, and to express disagreement politely. Offer reminders to pay attention to the teacher and raise a hand and wait to be called on. Respect for others is essential for making the school a peaceful, productive place to learn.

We’re so proud of their excitement and teamwork as they explored the basics of electrical systems! ⚙️✨

Happy National Bus Safety Week! We're reminding everyone about the most important rule when the yellow bus is near: ⚠️STOP ON RED!⚠️
If you see a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, you must stop. It's the law in all 50 states, and it protects children as they enter and exit the bus. Let's make every stop a safe stop!

Practice tests help kids prepare for the real thing
Research has shown that one of the most effective ways students can study for tests is by taking practice tests. To make a practice test, help your student write down questions from review sheets, class notes and assigned readings. Then, your child should try to answer the questions. Having to recall the information helps reinforce it in your child's mind.

Create a routine for conversations about school
Like anything else, conversations with your child about school get easier when they become more routine. You might discuss school on the way home from picking your child up, or after you both arrive at home. Or, make school a regular topic of dinner conversation with your child. In some families, after dinner is a perfect time for a one-on-one chat. You might also try talking as you tuck your child into bed.

For reading fun, host a story-writing party
Make reading a pleasurable, social experience to encourage your child to read more. Invite your child's friends to a Write-a-Story party. Each child writes the first sentence of a story on a piece of paper, then passes the paper on to another child to write the next sentence, and so on. When every guest has written a sentence for each story, have them read their stories aloud.

Make time for math activities every day
Not every child is a math whiz. But daily practice can help all students strengthen their math skills. It's important, for example, that students understand math vocabulary, so have your child explain the terms in schoolwork to you. Practice basic math facts by quizzing each other with flash cards and playing math games. For word problems, encourage your child to read the problem several times and draw a picture to help understand the question.

One family calendar helps you keep track of everything
Has your child ever forgotten about a science project until the last minute? Or didn't have a ride to practice because you were at work? A family calendar can help you avoid scheduling issues. On it, write school events, your child's assignments, reminders about items that must go to school on certain days, sports practices, activities, commitments and special events. You'll be able to keep track of everything and spot conflicts ahead of time so you can manage them.
