• Help Your Child Do Well in School: Build the Habit of Good Attendance

  Did you know?
  • Too many absences in elementary school can cause children to struggle socially and academically.
  • Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
  • Missing 10% of school (2 days each month) can make it harder to learn to read and do basic math.

  Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school — and themselves.
  Start building this habit NOW and through the years so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day, is important!

  
  What you can do
  • Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
  • Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
  • Keep your child healthy and make sure your child has the required shots.
  • Develop backup plans for getting to school if something comes up.
  • Monitor your child’s absences.
  • Try to schedule nonurgent medical appointments and extended trips when school isn’t in session.
  • If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers and our school counselors for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning.

• The Leader in Me

  What is The Leader in Me™?

  The Leader in Me™ is a whole-school transformation model that acts like the operating system of a computer — it improves performance of all other programs. Based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, The Leader in Me™ produces transformational results such as higher academic achievement, fewer discipline problems, and increased engagement among teachers and parents. Better yet, The Leader in Me™ equips students with the self-confidence and skills they need to thrive in the 21st century economy.

  What would be possible if our school was filled with students who were responsible, who showed initiative, who were creative, who knew how to set goals and meet them, who got along with people of various backgrounds and cultures, and who could resolve conflicts and solve problems? That is exactly what we’re going to achieve using The Leader in Me™ program.

  The Leader in Me™ program teaches the following 7 Habits: 1.  Be Proactive 2.  Begin with the End in Mind 3.  Put First Things First 4.  Think Win-Win 5.  Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood 6.  Synergize 7.  Sharpen the Saw

  Parent’s Guide to The Leader in Me

  This guide is an excellent resource for families of students at Leader in Me schools. It provides information about the 7 Habits and Parent-Child Activities for each Habit along with book lists and web resources.
