Homework: Learning is your child's responsibility

How did your desire to help your kids make them think that their schoolwork was your responsibility. Put the responsibility for learning back where it belongs - on your children.
Problems arise when parents aren't involved and are over-involved with their children's learning. To change this balance, hold your child accountable for his actions.
Does he wait until the very last minute to start a project?
What do you do when he tells you he needs to make a trip to the store right now for a project due tomorrow? Your child has to learn the consequences of his behavior. Your child may learn an important lesson about putting things off until the last minute. By holding your child accountable, you help him learn that actions do have consequences.

Screenings

Kindergarten registration provides screening in the areas of speech/language, cognitive, fine motor, and hearing. Staff are trained to implement screening tools such as Dibels and the DIAL-3.
Vision and hearing screenings are conducted in September each year. Students in grades 1, 2, and 3 receive hearing screenings, while students in grades 3 and 5 receive vision screenings. Students in Tier 3 also receive vision/hearing screenings.
