Parent Tips

A family atmosphere prevails at our school with the education of your child being a shared responsibility. We encourage your interest in what your child does each day and welcome your involvement in the classroom, school council, and at home.

  1. Ensure your child is getting an adequate nights rest. Children require 10 to 12 hours in order to appropriately function the next day.
  2. Children learn best when they eat a healthy breakfast and have nutritious foods for snack and lunch.
  3. Please ensure you are participating in the home reading program by reading with your child and discussing the text every night.
  4. Sight words are a necessary part of literacy. Help your child become a better reader by practicing their sight words every night.
  5. Your child’s agenda is the primary communication tool. Please ensure you are reading, signing and checking the front pouch daily.
  6. Please practice basic math foundational facts for both addition and subtraction. Dice, cards, or other manipulatives such as Lego or Cheerios are a great way to support your child.  Help your child practice skip counting to develop their number sense. Please practice counting by 2's, 5's, 10's, 20's, 25's and 50's.
