In this month's Superintendent letter to parents, Dr. GwenCarol Holmes provides some ways parents can partner with teachers and schools to prepare students for success in life:
- Talk to your child every day about what they are learning in school and WHY. Be sure it is a relevant "why" for learning.
- Expect and support good attendance at school. Children who miss more than 10 days a year have reduced outcomes in learning. Children absent more than 15 days a year are considered chronically absent.
- Expect and support our children in reading and writing for authentic purposes every day.
- Expect and support our children in solving relevant problems on a regular basis.
Read the rest of the tips for student success in this letter or look for them in the next BCSD Weekly Update. Have a great school year!
