Can I come in to help?
Yes! Parents are always welcome, but we prefer notice. Please contact me when you'd like to come in.
Can I make cupcakes, brownies, cake, etc to send in for my child's birthday?
Unfortunately, no. The county requires that only packaged goods be provided.
What can I do at home to help with discipline at school?
We are so grateful for parent support at home! Please see the social/emotional tips above.
Provide a positive reward system. If the child comes home with good feedback, find positive ways the child can be rewarded. If the child is in need of good feedback, provide positive incentives for when the child meets this goal. Remind your child of these rewards. Incentives do not have to cost anything either! This site provides a list of free positive incentives.
