Greetings, Center Families!
It's officially December! This month's "Helping Children Learn" newsletter will be coming home with your child today. You will enjoy reading articles on helping your child make decisions and choices, how to experience pleasure from gift giving, and helping your child prepare to do well on tests. With lots of sickness going around, be sure to read the section on keeping a check on your child's attendance record. Additionally, we delve into the significance of report cards as a valuable tool for tracking your child's progress. The newsletter includes guidance on how to interpret report card information, understand strengths and areas for improvement, and actively engage in constructive conversations with your child about their academic journey.
