A fresh year, a fresh semester and some fresh\u00a0goal setting. What a great opportunity to set some exciting goals for yourself and show your children how to do the same. Children learn by example and what better example can you set than by showing them how to set goals?<\/div>\n
Sit with your child and write your goals together. Write down not only the goal itself, but also why it’s important and what it will mean when it is achieved. Work on the goal with your child – but don’t take over! Make sure that your child can sense your interest and support.<\/div>\n
You can also support your child by attending our next parent\/teacher conference which is scheduled for\u00a0February 15. I encourage you to bring your child with you to conferences.<\/div>\n
Let’s have a great second semester!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Change Can Be Hard…<\/b><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
The change to a new semester can be challenging for students. Here are some tips for helping your child to stress less from Psychology Today:<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Get some sleep – teens should get 9 hours of sleep a night<\/li>\n
  2. Focus on your strengths – what is your teen good at doing? Whatever they enjoy will help relax them and help manage stress<\/li>\n
  3. Exercise – encourage your teen to do activities with friends – biking, jogging, walking, rollerblading, etc – great stress busters!<\/li>\n
  4. Do thing that make you happy – have your teen post a list of 3-5 things that bring them joy – try to do one every day!<\/li>\n
  5. Talk to someone – when teens let others in, it helps to alleviate stress – talk to a trusted adult, teacher, counselor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

    Attendance Reminder<\/b><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
    		<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    As we begin the second half of the school year, it is a good time to review our attendance policy, specifically related to pre-arranged absences. Please keep in mind that experience
    \n\"\" has shown that a pattern of regular attendance is essential to school success. This is true regardless of the reason for an absence. When classes are missed, they cannot be made up in the same manner as when a student is present for class\u00a0discussion. The school seeks the active cooperation of student and parent in striving for the highest possible level of attendance. School Board Policy, in accordance with Wisconsin state statures on Compulsory School Attendance Law, requires regular school attendance, but allows legal excuses for absence for personal illness. Every attempt should be made to schedule vacations and appointments outside of the school day.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    NOTICE TO PARENTS WHO ARE MOVING OUT OF THE DISTRICT<\/p>\n

Please call Mary Blaha, Director of Business Services or Julie Hahn,\u00a0Administrative Assistant at 467-7893 if you have any questions regarding tuition waivers.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
