Parents,
You are invited to participate in the GMAS (Georgia Milestones Assessment) Parent Training that will take place on March 7, 2023. The meeting will be held live through Google Meets at 6:00 PM. Flyer invitations are being sent home this week. We would like for you to send back the bottom of the flyer to reserve materials that must be printed ahead of time. The materials will be referenced in the training and will go home with your child on the day of the training. We hope you will join us.

At bedtime, allow a few minutes after the light is off for a quiet
conversation with your child.
Give your child weekly tickets worth 30 minutes of recreational screen
time each. Let him or her cash in unused tickets for small treats.
Does your child need new books? Help him organize a neighborhood
book swap.
Pick a category (cities, animals) and a letter. How many items from
that category can your child name that begin with that letter?
Remind your child that you enjoy their company and love them.
Have your child write a special Valentine’s message to someone who is
sick or lonely. Help him send or deliver it.
With your child, estimate how many bowls of cereal you can pour
from one box. Keep track until the box is empty.
