Parent Power!
All parents believe that children can and will succeed.
Parents are the bridge to that success.
You can accomplish this by taking these steps:
Be responsible. - Make education a priority in your home.
Be committed. - Continue supporting your child throughout the year.
Be positive. - Provide positive feedback.
Be patient. - Show your child that you care through your commitment and encouragement.
Be attentive. - Discipline should be appropriate and consistent. Provide them with an opportunity to correct behavior.
Be precise. - Provide clear and direct instructions.
Be mindful of mistakes. - Look over work and help him or her correct any errors.
Be diligent. - Work with your child and teacher(s) throughout the year.
Be innovative. - Keep learning lively and dynamic.
BE THERE. - Just be there for your child - to answer questions, listen, to give advice, and to encourage.
Be there to support your child whenever needed.
