First and Most Important Teacher

Lots of our kids are heading back to school today.  As parents, we are one of the key ingredients needed to ensure that our children have a safe and educational school experience.  Here are ways we can support our children:

·         Turn off the TV and read to your children on a regular basis.

·         Visit the library often to borrow books and use the computers.

·         Plan on attending parent conferences and other school programs and activities.

·         Make sure you know your children's friends and where they are at all times.

·         Set consistent bedtimes to assure 8-9 hours of sleep.

·         Plan 3 nutritious meals per day.

It's important to remember that we are our children's first and most important teacher.
