Attendance from Bell to Bell is Key to a Good Education

Instructional time is very important to your child’s academic success.  Since the implementation of No Child Left Behind, the school day is full of classroom instruction.  Instruction takes place from the sounding of the bell in the morning all the way to the dismissal bell.  Each day, countless students are picked up from school 20 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour early from school.  During this time, students are receiving leveled language arts instruction based upon their needs.  We ask that you schedule appointments after school so your child can receive valuable instruction from Bell to Bell each day!

See Me Read!

 

It's a fact of life- children watch what their parents do.  To encourage your kids to read, let them see that you like to read, too.  Try these suggestions:

 

Make it easy.  Keep good books, magazines, and newspapers around the house for all of you.  You'll give everyone plenty of opportunities to read.

 

Let's hear it.  Read interesting things aloud:  news stories, funny jokes, a delicious recipe, or words to a song.  You'll boost your kids' excitement for the written word.

 

Do it.  Let your children see you read for pleasure every day.  You'll set a good example for them to follow.
