Parenting Tip Sheet<br />
Each fortnight I include a Parenting Tip Sheet in the Digest. All Parenting Sheets can be found on<br />
the school website. This week‟s topic is on Friendship Skills. Friendship skills are generally<br />
developmental. That is, kids grow into these skills given exposure to different situations and with<br />
adult help.<br />
Early Years Update<br />
How to get involved<br />
As a parent, you play a vital role in your child‟s education. By getting involved in the school you can<br />
help your child make a smooth and happy start to their education.<br />
You can do this by:<br />
introducing yourself to your child‟s teacher<br />
sharing information with your child‟s teacher<br />
keeping the teacher informed of any changes that may affect your child<br />
talking with your child about their day<br />
attending parent information sessions<br />
reading the school newsletter<br />
checking school bulletin boards<br />
attending family fun days<br />
participating in a safe walk to school program with other children or families who live nearby<br />
attending parent meetings and talking to other parents<br />
volunteering to attend school excursions or participate in classroom activities<br />
participating in school working bees.<br />
Things you can do at home<br />
You can also help your child progress at school by taking some simple steps at home:<br />
<br />
take an interest in your child‟s schooling and value the importance of attending. Ask your child<br />
over dinner, “What new things did you do at school today?”<br />
