ATTENDANCE: A KEY TO YOUR CHILD’S
SUCCESS
Schools
are responsible for teaching your
child.
But schools cannot do their job if
your
child is absent. Learning builds day by
day.
A child who misses a day of school
misses
a day of learning. Research shows that
children
who attend school daily do better on
state
tests. Studies also show that kids
who are
absent more often score lower on
state
tests. Being late for school hurts a
child’s
learning, too. A student who is 10
minutes
late every day will miss 30 hours of
instruction during the year!
Children
can copy notes or make up an
assignment,
but they can never get back
what’s
most important: the discussions,
the
questions, the explanations by the
teacher
and the thinking that makes learning
come
alive.

February is designated as National Heart Health Month and
Dental Health Month. You will surely be ‘BE THE BEST ME I CAN
BE’ by following these health tips.
Determine what your ideal weight should be and strive to
achieve it.
Your diet should include whole grains, plenty of fruits
and vegetables, foods low in saturated fat, eliminating foods
with trans-fats and including high fiber foods. Eat a handful of
almonds everyday and use olive oil or almond oil for cooking or
salad dressings. Broil your food instead of frying your food.
Healthy eating habits should begin in childhood. Children learn
by example, include your children in meal planning, food
shopping, and preparing meals. Teach your children how to read
labels. You can incorporate reading lessons as well as math
lessons when shopping and preparing meals.
