Dear Parents,
Parent Conferences
By now you should have received a letter through your child's backpack confirming the time and date of your Parent Conference on either November 11 or November 12. If you have not made or received an appointment time, please call your child's teacher or the school office to make one. Report cards will be sent home with the students on November 11, and it is very important that you communicate with your child's teacher about any concerns or questions you might have about his/her academic progress.
Attendance is Directly Linked to Achievement
Parents who let their kids miss a lot of school are setting them up for school failure. Researcher Mary Frase studied students who had dropped out of high school. She found that nearly all of them had poor attendance records.
An important way you can promote your child’s academic success is to get him or her to school on time every day. The start of a new school year is the time to help your child make this habit. Follow these tips:
-
Enforce a regular bedtime for your child
-
Make sure your child is organized so he or she can get out the door with what they need
-
Remember that everything you add to a schedule means something must be taken away. For example, if you add lots of before- and after-school activities, you take away time for your child to read, play and study.
Some kids can handle a busier schedule. But if youth sports leave your child too tired to do homework or to get up in the morning, it’s time to cut back.
Reminders:
-
When money is sent to the Café for student lunch accounts, please make checks out to: Cannon Road Café and ensure that the date on the check is the current date.
-
If money sent to the Café is to be “split” between two siblings lunch accounts, please clearly indicate how much money should go into each child’s account.
-
Low-balance letters for student lunch accounts are sent home once a week, please check your child’s backpack for this important information.
-
After School Call-In for Spanish speaking parents is again available on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 3:15 and 4:00 p.m. CRES Spanish speaking staff members will take your calls and questions and they will determine who can help you and forward your question to the appropriate staff member.
-
Make-up Picture day is scheduled for November 13th. If your child was absent on the original date for photographs, he/she will have their picture taken on Make-up Day for their student records. Order forms are available in the Main Office if families would like to purchase photographs. Also, if you are unhappy with the photographs that were taken previously, return the packet of photos on this day and your child will have their picture re-taken.
Queridos padres:
Charla de padres y maestros
Al momento ya habrán recibido en la mochila de su niño/a una carta confirmando la fecha y hora de su Charla con los maestros el día 11 o el día 12 de noviembre. Si usted no ha hecho o ha recibido una cita, por favor llame al maestra/o de su niño/a o a la oficina de la escuela para hacer una cita. Los informes de notas serán enviados el 11 de noviembre, y es muy importante que se comunique con la maestra/o de su niño/a en caso de cualquier asunto o pregunta respecto a su progreso académico.
La asistencia diaria está directamente relacionada al aprovechamiento académico
Los padres que permiten que sus hijos pierdan muchos días de escuela les están encaminando al fracaso en la escuela. La investigadora Mary Frase ha estudiado estudiantes que se han salido de la esuela secundaria. Encontró que casi todos ellos tenían problemas de asistencia.
Una manera importante de promover el éxito académico de sus hijos es traerlo a la escuela a tiempo todos los días. El comienzo de cada año escolar es el momento de ayudar a sus hijos a establecer este hábito. Siga estas sugerencias:
* Establezca regularmente una hora para irse a dormir
* Esté seguro que su hija/o se organice de manera que salga de la casa en la mañana con lo que necesite
* Recuerde que algo que añada a su horario tomará el lugar de otra actividad. Por ejemplo, si añade muchas actividades antes y después de la escuela, le quita a su hijo tiempo de lectura, juego y estudio.
Algunos chicos pueden con un horario cargado. Pero si los deportes dejan a su hija/o muy cansada/o para hacer la terea o levantarse en la mañana, entonces es hora de cortar.
Recordatorios:
· Cuando el dinero se envía al Café para las cuentas del almuerzo del estudiante, haga por favor los cheques hacia fuera: El camino Café del Cannon y se asegura de que la fecha en el cheque sea la fecha actual.
· Si se va el dinero enviado al Café “a estar partido” entre dos cuentas del almuerzo de los hermanos, indique por favor claramente cuánto dinero debe entrar la cuenta de cada niño.
· las letras del Bajo-balancia para las cuentas del almuerzo del estudiante se envían a casa una vez a la semana, chequce por favor la mochila de su niño para saber si hay esta información importante.
· Después de escuela Call-in para padres de habla hispana está otra vez disponible el martes y jueves entre 3:15 y 4:00 P.M. Los miembros de discurso españoles del personal de CRES tomarán sus llamadas y las preguntas y ellos se determinarán quién puede ayudarle y remitir su pregunta al miembro apropiado del personal.
· Otro día del fotos programar para el 13 de noviembreth. Si su niño estaba ausente la fecha original para las fotografías, he/she tendrá su cuadro adquirido el día del maquillaje para sus expedientes del estudiante. Las formas de orden están disponibles en la oficina principal si las familias quisieran comprar las fotografías. También, si usted es infeliz con las fotografías que fueron tomadas previamente, vuelva el paquete de fotos en este día y su niño tendrá su cuadro vuelto a tomar.
