Fun Learning Activities for Your Elementary Students Fun Learning Activities with Your Secondary Students Contact Your DPAC & Parent Advisory Council Help Your Child to Succeed at SchoolWe want every student to have a successful school experience. When schools and parents work together our children are the winners! Here are some ways you can help build your child's confidence. Encourage "personal best" Help your child by encouraging him or her to do the best in school and at home. Remember, "personal best" does not mean "perfect", and learning is not the same as high grades. Children, like adults, need the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them. Make learning a priority Your attitude toward school attendance, education and involvement in the school makes a strong and lasting impression on your child. Show your child, by example, that learning is a priority. Show interest in school work * Talk about school each day. Help your child use the following strategies to improve performance in school: * Read the assignment when it is given. Support 100% attendance Some kinds of absences are unavoidable, but taking students out of school unnecessarily is disruptive for learning. Help set goals At the beginning of each term, help your child identify three or four goals. Put the goals where they can be frequently seen. (The refrigerator is always an excellent spot.) Make sure the goals are specific. Get involved Attend school activities such as open houses, parent/teacher interviews and School Council meetings. When your children see you involved, they will also see education as a high priority. Interpreters are available for parent interviews.
