October News and Updates

1. Fuel up- Children who eat a healthy breakfast each day have more energy available for learning. Try simple, protein-loaded options like homemade scrambled-egg-and-cheese breakfast burritos, waffles smeared with nut butter, or yogurt-and-fruit smoothies.
2. Become a Volunteer- Volunteers can assist the classroom teacher in many ways. Ask the teacher what his or her specific needs are this year.
3. Connect with your child's teachers- Many schools schedule parent meetings and school wide events in October. Attending these events should be a priority for all parents and guardians. This is your chance to see how things are going with your children and to partner with their teachers on improving performance. National PTA has created grade by-grade Parent Guides that can be a resource for what to discuss at school meetings. Find out more at pta.org/parentsguide.
