Make a game of following directions
Here's a game to play that builds your child's ability to follow directions: Hide a small prize, such as a coin. Then, tell your child all the directions necessary to find it. Before hunting, have your child repeat the directions, then picture following each step. Start by giving only two or three directions. Increase the complexity of the directions as your child improves.

Learning perseverance is worth the effort Perseverance is hard work. But your child's effort to develop the habit now will help in school. Teach your elementary schooler that "You're never a failure until you give up." Talk about a time when you wanted to give up, but didn't, and overcame an obstacle. Then, have some fun: Set out a jigsaw puzzle to do together, and don't quit until the last piece is in! https://tpitip.com/?14fI17376
Start a conversation with specific questions Sometimes conversations with children can be frustrating. "What did you do in class today?" you ask. "Nothing," your child replies. Don't give up! Try asking more specific questions, such as "What was the best part of your day?" or "What are you learning about in science?" Sometimes it works just to say, "What do you want to talk about?" You might be surprised by your child's answer! https://tpitip.com/?14fH17376
Are your expectations realistic? It's great to have high expectations for your child. But itâs also important that your expectations be realistic. When setting expectations, consider questions such as: Why do I have this expectation? Where did it come from? What purpose does it serve? Is it based on my child's needs, or mine? Is it appropriate for a child this age? Consult with the teacher if you are in doubt. Then, cheer your child on! https://tpitip.com/?14fG17376
All St. Landry Parish School Board Administrative offices and schools will be closed on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, in observance of Juneteenth. We will not have summer school or Camp Accelerate on this day.
Schoolwork is your child's responsibility It's important that students learn to take responsibility for their own schoolwork. When they do, they learn not only the subject matter, but also important life lessons such as initiative, time management and perseverance. Let your child learn these lessons from experience. Don't take over the responsibility for your childâs assignments. Your elementary schooler may make a few mistakes, but those teach lessons, too. https://tpitip.com/?14fF17376

April 22-26, 2024 is Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week (APAW), a dedicated week to recognize, appreciate and advocate for those who work with young people during out-of-school hours.
Research shows that skilled and knowledgeable program staff are the backbone of program quality and are key to desired positive youth outcomes.
Why is it important to recognize Afterschool Professionals?
An estimated 7.8 million children participate in afterschool programs each year; for every child in an afterschool program, two more are waiting to get in. Every young person deserves quality afterschool experiences that positively impact their development. It takes skilled professionals to create these experiences. Because of the important role afterschool professionals play in kidsâ lives, they deserve recognition and support!
