Support at Home
January/February 2012
Dear Lion Families,
Support our efforts at home
- Have high expectations for your child and clearly communicate them to him/her.
- Expect your child to do his/her best on tasks and in all subjects. Don’t set goals too high – unrealistic expectations do as much harm as low expectations.
- ·Establish some good home routines. Get children in the habit of getting ready the night before each school day.
- Set up a home study place. Decide on a place to complete work that is quiet, has adequate lighting, and is away from distractions.
- Discuss your child’s schoolwork each day. Review your child’s day with him/her. Review homework after it is completed.
- Read to your child each evening. Practice basic math facts by making flash cards and playing the math games.
- Communicate the importance of daily attendance and the accountability for being on time. Being tardy is a huge disruption in your child’s day and for the rest of the class.
- Discuss the monthly Character trait with your child and remind him/her to practice good character. The monthly trait can be found in our school calendar or on the school website.
·Visit the Parent section of the district website: http://www.sandi.net/indices/parents.htm. There is a wealth of information!)
Help us keep our lunch lines moving by making sure your child’s lunch account has funds (Did you know that you could receive an e-mail reminding you to deposit money and/or, you can set up an automatic payment so you child will always have a funded account? The website is https://paypams.com/HomePage.aspx .)
