WSE wishes you and your family a Happy Holiday Season! Below are some Parent Tips for the month of December.
December
- Get ready for flu season Amp up the reminders about washing hands frequently—particularly when kids get home from school, sports, and other activities. Pay attention to school websites and newsletters for alerts about flu or other illness outbreaks. Check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (cdc.gov) for up-to-date information and the latest prevention advice. And be sure your family gets flu shots.
- Help end bullying Take the time to talk with your children about bullying. Go to pta.org/bullying and stopbullying.gov to learn what you can do as a parent to instill an attitude of acceptance in your children and learn more about bullying.
- Remember the teacher A simple holiday token is nice if you can swing it. Teachers particularly appreciate cards from their students, and gift cards for their favorite book, crafts, or office-supply stores. Teachers often replenish classroom supplies out of their own pay, so gift cards help cut the cost.
- Practice cyber safety If your children will be
spending more time online during the winter break, or if they get a new
laptop or smartphone as a gift, be sure to review family rules and
online behavior.
Children are encouraged to continue to read and complete AR tests, and lessons in Zearn and i-Ready at home over the holiday break.
