News and Information
Report Cards will be issued Oct. 1.
Please remind your child(ren) that
"silly bands" are to be worn on
the wrist. They are not to be traded,
played with, or shot. We really don’t
want to outlaw them, but they are
becoming an issue. Please discuss this
so we can prevent problems.
Expect the Best
Setting high expectations for your child is a key to his success in school. Set the tone for a great year by letting your youngster know what you expect from him – and helping him see what he can expect from himself.
Be realistic. Match expectations to your child’s abilities. For example, if he’s strong in math and science, you can expect him to earn good grades in those subjects. Then consider overall standards, such as finishing work on time and doing his best.
Be clear. Remember to communicate your expectations to your child. Make it part of everyday conversations, such as, "We’ll play catch after you do your homework."
Be supportive. Work with your child to help him meet your expectations. For instance, provide materials for his projects and help him set aside time to work on them. Let him know that you expect his best and that you’re certain he can do it. You’ll build his confidence and encourage him to make it happen.
