What is the best way to correspond with you?

The best way to reach me is by sending in a note with your child 
or calling the school and leaving a message.  I will make every 
attempt to return your phone call the same day I receive it.

How can I support my child at home and at school?

Here are some suggestions on ways you can support your child at 
home and at school:
1.  Praise your child daily for specific accomplishments.
2.  Set limits on TV watching and be selective about what your 
child views.
3.  Ask to see your child's homework.
4.  Establish rules, routines, and chores at home.
5.  Provide a quiet, well lighted place where your child can 
study.
6.  Read to your child and encourage him or her to read to you.  
Be a reading role model by letting your child see you read.
7.  Create a special area for library books and homework.  Teach 
your child to check this area as he or she leaves for school.

How much help should I be giving my child on his/her homework?

Homework is an extension of work done in school.  Encourage your 
child to do his/her homework on their own as much as possible.  
He/she may need your help reading the directions or with the 
spelling of a word. It would be greatly appreciated if you would 
check you child's homework each day to be sure that it is done 
correctly and returned promptly.
