Top Ten Tips for a Successful School Year

10.  Be positive about your child’s education.

9.  Be an active partner in your child’s education.

8.  Be patient with regression.  Remember 1 step forward can mean 2 steps back (not necessarily a bad thing).

7.  Keep informed about school policies.

6.  Keep up to date on school activities by reading and even rereading newsletters and other important information that comes home on Thursdays.

5.  Keep afternoon routines simple the first few weeks of school.  Students may come home tired and frustrated.

4.  Keep night schedules simple and give your child an EARLY bed time during the school week.

3.  Provide after school activities that allow for movement to release bottled up energy.  Limit television and video games during the school week.

2.  Provide a nutritious breakfast (or allow the school to provide one) for your child every morning.

1.  Provide your child a hug and kiss every morning before school and each afternoon when the family returns home.
