Welcome back SJB Eagles! We hope everyone had a wonderful summer. As we transition into the new school year, here are some helpful tips to start things off on the right foot. For more information, please read the article HOME ENVIRONMENT NURTURES THE SEED OF SCHOOL SUCCESS from the Formative Parenting website.
The month of September focuses on the Franciscan Value of the Right Relationship. Having a good structure at home will help your child be in the right mindframe to build the right relationships at school.
Encourage Independence
Let your child take age-appropriate responsibility for things like packing their backpack, setting their alarm, or organizing school supplies. It builds confidence and self-reliance.
Stay Positive About School
Talk about school in a positive way. Your attitude helps shape your child’s mindset and enthusiasm for learning.
Read Together
Set aside time each night to read with your child. This simple habit strengthens language skills and builds a foundation for academic success.
Establish a Routine
Make sure your child has a consistent bedtime and morning routine. A predictable schedule helps reduce stress and ensures they’re well-rested and ready to learn.
