-
Show a
genuine interest in your children's experiences in school and in their
accomplishments. Provide the time and place for homework. Look at all
papers sent home from school.
-
Support
your child's teacher and Estes School. Don't speak negatively about the
school or teachers in front of your child. Don't blame the school for
trouble before checking both sides of the story. Call the school and set
up a conference to discuss any situation you don't understand.
-
Don't keep children out of school unless absolutely necessary.
-
Encourage reading. Read aloud to your children every day when they are small, and read together when they are older.
-
Set realistic objectives for your children. Help them to become the best that they can be.
-
Be sure your children get enough sleep and nutritious meals. Too much T.V. can cause restless, irritable behavior.

Join Estes P.T.A. and attend meetings.
