Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Participate in things that matter to your child - It's not always possible for parents to attend every one of their children's events at school. So what's most important? It's simple, really. Ask your child which events mean the most to them. They may not care if you miss seeing them get a perfect attendance award. But they may really want you to hear their 30-second solo in the spring concert. When you can't be there for everything, be there when it matters to your child. http://bit.ly/2OoUffe
Happy National School Counseling Week! Counselors, what motivates you? What is your favorite thing about coming into your school each day? #ThankACounselor #NSCW2020 #VBCPSCounselors
Parent Connection Tip of the Day: You have what it takes to help at school - You may think you don't have much to offer at school. But skills you consider routine could be a great help to your teen and other students. You might be able to coach a student on how to write a résumé or interview for a job. Perhaps you could demonstrate a computer program or give tips on how to care for children. Can you suggest a book that gives an inside look at a career? Ask the school how you can share your life skills. http://bit.ly/38WSvSe
Next week, Feb. 3-7, is National School Counseling Week. In VBCPS, we have the best #schoolcounselors! We appreciate you and what you do for each child, every day.

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Make space and time for learning - Today is National "Clean Off Your Desk" Day. Teens waste a lot of learning time looking for misplaced items. Whether your teen studies at a desk or the kitchen table, encourage them to sort through their papers, supplies and materials. they can throw away any junk and file returned tests and homework in subject folders. Suggest that they avoid keeping anything in their study area that doesn't help with school assignments. http://bit.ly/2uG21dD
Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Chores teach useful lessons in responsibility - Studies show that kids who do chores at home are more likely to achieve in school. One reason is that chores help kids develop responsibility. Give your child a choice of chores to do. Teach them how to tackle the tasks one step at a time. Then praise their efforts with specifics: "You made your bed neatly. Thanks for helping to make our home tidy." http://bit.ly/2ZZnb28

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Find out who's who at the school - Do you know the school principal's name? The name of your child's counselor? The nurse? It's never too late to meet the key people at school. One good way is to volunteer for a school activity that is important to your child. While you're at it, take time to talk with school personnel. The more you know the educators who work with your teen, the smoother their journey through school will be. http://bit.ly/35yYlrb

Her students look forward to coming to school each day and try to outperform each other just because they are excited to learn in the way that she teaches. She goes out of her way to recognize each one of them individually. They even have inspirational quotes and notes they leave for each other around the classroom to remind them how important they each are! She is truly a jewel among teachers."

"Mrs. Amanda Agreste, first-grade teacher at Glenwood Elementary School, has been absolutely wonderful and is constantly updating me on how my child is doing. She goes the extra mile to be kind and caring. My husband was just recently deployed and it really hit my daughter hard. Mrs. Agreste gave my daughter a "Daddy Journal" so she could draw him pictures and write him letters anytime she wanted. When my daughter brought the little journal home, it brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart. My daughter adores her teacher and just enjoys going to school. Mrs. Agreste is just wonderful!"

"Mrs. Diane Cross makes AP English 11 super fun. She is always is brightening my day. Most of my high school career, English has definitely not been my favorite subject. Mrs. Cross has actually made English enjoyable for me. Every day is an adventure in her class, and I am so thankful to be one of her students. Mrs. Cross uses a variety of ways to make AP English 11 relevant to real life and spark the interest of her students. She is absolutely an amazing person and teacher."

My daughter loves going to school because Ms. Paula Gee from Glenwood Elementary makes learning fun and exciting. Ms. Gee not only comes up with creative projects to help with learning, she incorporates technology. Ms. Gee is excellent at communication with parents and keeps us informed in what students are doing in the classroom as well as events going on at school. Ms. Gee is not only is a great teacher, she is also a great role model for her students and our community. Every time I visit the school, I see former teachers and Ms. Gee's former students come back to volunteer in her classroom. That is truly remarkable and shows what an impact Ms. Gee has on everyone she meets. Thank you for giving parents the opportunity to recognize great teachers!
