Review schoolwork to reinforce learning
Reviewing your child's schoolwork is an important way to support success in every grade. Set aside time each day to look at classwork and assignments. Ask your child to tell you about the work. Was it easy? Challenging? What can your student tell you about the subject? Praise work that is complete and neat. If it isn't, ask your child to give it a little more effort.

There will be no 21st Century after-school tutoring tomorrow, Wednesday, November 12, 2025 due to early dismissal. All students should either ride the bus or get picked up this afternoon. Thank you for your understanding.
Wednesday, November 12, 2025, is an early dismissal day for staff professional development. Bus riders will begin boarding at 12:05 pm and car riders will follow once buses leave the campus around 12:10 pm. All students should be picked up before 12:30 pm to allow for staff to attend professional development. We appreciate your understanding.
Well-rested kids do better in school
One important way you can promote school success is to see that your child gets between nine and 13 hours of sleep each night. Even one more hour of sleep can improve your elementary schooler’s alertness, focus and memory. To help your child get enough sleep, encourage outdoor exercise and limit caffeine (say no to caffeinated "energy drinks"). Then, create a soothing, consistent bedtime routine.

Help your child avoid pitfalls that make problems worse
Knowing how to solve problems is an important part of learning. There are many ways to approach a problem, but some strategies never work. Teach your child never to ignore a problem with a teacher, classmate or assignment. It won't go away and could even get worse. Getting mad won't help, and neither will quitting. If one solution doesn't work, encourage your child to try another, and to keep trying.

Create a keepsake that reinforces family ties
You can make the special days your family celebrates even more special by keeping a family journal of the events. Together, describe your preparations, and what went well and what didn't. Note what everyone talked about and how they felt. You'll be capturing memories and creating stories that will strengthen your child's sense of family. Read them together often.

Offer support when your child feels challenged
Every stage of childhood has its challenges. But if you dismiss a challenge your child is facing as "just a phase," you may make it seem like you don't care. Instead, show support by asking your child to talk about what's going on. Listen without rushing to judgment. Then, ask questions to help your child consider ways to handle the problem. You'll still need to correct inappropriate behavior, but your child will know you want to help.

Choose a 'math fact of the day'
Before children can succeed with higher math, they have to master basic math facts. To make practicing more fun for your child, introduce a daily math fact, such as "9 times 6 equals 54." Challenge your child to repeat it often: in the shower, at the bus stop, in the lunch line. Say it together in different voices: a high voice, a low voice, a whisper. By the end of the day, you'll probably find that your child knows that math fact very well.

Give your child acceptable words to express strong feelings
At one time or another, many parents and caregivers will hear "I hate you" from their child. When kids lash out with angry words, it's important not to overreact. Wait until you are both calm, and then explain to your child that "hate" is a hurtful word and it isn't acceptable. Offer some alternative things to say when upset, such as "I'm angry," or "I'm disappointed."

Test anxiety goes down when students prepare
Children with test anxiety are so afraid of failing that they can't do their best. It doesn't help to tell them to relax. What does help is preparation. Help your child find a quiet study space. Then, help your student spread studying out over several days. Make sure that your child gets enough sleep, and on test day, offer a vote of confidence: "I know you will do well. You're prepared."

Set the timer to jumpstart writing
To encourage your child to write, try writing together. With your child, choose a topic. Then, set a timer for five to seven minutes. Both of you write whatever comes into your heads and keep writing, even if it doesn't make sense. When the timer goes off, stop writing and share what you each wrote. This also works to help jumpstart a writing assignment when your child says, "I can't think of anything to write about."

More choices can reduce power struggles
Power struggles with elementary schoolers are losing battles. To avoid them, give your child options rather than orders. "Would you like to do your reading now or after dinner?" Just be sure you can live with all the options you offer. If some things are out of the question, say so. "You may choose when to do your math, but the rule is that there is no screen time until schoolwork is done."
