Welcome Back, Spartans!

Parents,
The start of school is the most exciting time of the year for students!

They want to meet their teachers, catch up with their friends, and explore a whole new world of knowledge. As exciting as these first weeks of school are, your children can't do this on their own. They need your help to get ready—now and every day. You need to read aloud to young children to reinforce the importance of literacy. You should help them when they're stuck on homework. Make sure they have a nutritious lunch every day. Build relationships with their teachers, so you can work together to provide your children the best learning experience. Helping your children with school is one of your most important jobs as a parent. That's why the U.S. Department of Education, National PTA, and Parenting have teamed up to bring you Countdown to School Success. I will post monthly parental advice from the Department of Education, explaining how you can help your children at home, support them in the classroom, and assist their teachers as they address each of your children's unique abilities.
