Attendance

Did you know that just missing 2 days of school per month means a child has missed 10% of the school year?

Almost all parents have hopes and dreams for their children. What are your dreams for your child? Being in school every day will enable your child to do well in school, graduate ready for the workforce, or go on to college.

PBIS: Keeping Your Student Engaged during Online Learning

Helping your student manage their time while maintaining personal and professional duties can be challenging. Try setting up parental controls on your child's devices to assist with distracting stimuli. You could also set up parental controls on all of the media devices in your home (many media companies offer parental controls for their services).

Reward Systems:

There are many apps available that assist with setting chores, tasks, and rewarding with an allowance. Classwork, participation, and logging in could also be added to the list of tasks.

Monetary Reward systems:

Debit Cards give parents control of their kid's spending and you can create chores and allowances. You could reward your student for completing work and for grades earned.

Nonmonetary Reward systems:

This reward system can be meaningful to children when you reward them with things they enjoy or want. Screen time (tv., movies, gaming, or devices) can be one of the rewards if this has been a great interest of your child.
