Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Share a method for putting worries aside - The pandemic has increased teens' stress and anxiety. Some stress can be motivating, but persistent stress is a problem. If your teen is a worrier, they may have trouble concentrating. Have them try this trick. Every time a worry pops into their mind while they’re studying, have them write it down and then go back to studying. At the end of the study session, they can review their worries. If they still worry them, they can start working on solutions. https://bit.ly/3koGn1O

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Inner strength outpowers negative influence - Celebrities and "influencers" can affect children's goals and how they see themselves, and not always in positive ways. Help your child develop their own ideas about who they are and wants to be. Find ways for them to explore their strengths and talents. To inspire their confidence in their own abilities, resist providing ready answers. If they are stuck on a problem, point out resources they can use to find the solution themselves. https://bit.ly/3f1dfNc

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Teens love to argue. But you don't have to respond - Debating uses your teen's reasoning skills. That's great for their academic success. But constant arguments at home can be maddening! When a discussion is heading toward an argument, don't take the bait if your teen says something provocative. Just say, "that's interesting" and walk away. Save trying to get your point across for a calmer moment. If your teen is looking for a sparring match, they’re probably not listening to you anyway. https://bit.ly/35u15cv

“Perfect” local collaboration leads to resource for military families-
In conjunction with Military Family Appreciation Month, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS), William & Mary and Machut Industries, Inc. have developed and launched the Military Assistance Portal, or M.A.P., an app designed to provide military families across Hampton Roads with access to social, emotional and educational supports.

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Look for ways to turn 'no' into 'yes' - Does your child use their blossoming reasoning skills to argue with you? Keep in mind that the word 'no' sparks arguments. So, rather than saying "No, you can't watch TV," say "Yes, you can watch it when you have finished your assignment." It's also important not to offer choices when only one action will do. For example, don't ask your child if she's ready for dinner. Say, "Dinner is ready. Please come to the table." https://bit.ly/2IFndr6

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: There's more than one way to study for tests - Your teen's tests will come in a variety of formats. Different study methods can help them prepare. For essay tests, have your teen put the main ideas they’re studying into question form and practice writing answers in complete sentences. For short-answer tests, learning facts in groups rather than one at a time is helpful. For problem-solving tests, daily practice in setting up problems and doing calculations is the key. https://bit.ly/2UmGhNI

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: How to boost social skills while social distancing - Many parents are wondering how their children can develop social skills during a pandemic. But many of these important social skills can be taught at home. Role-play being friendly, honest and a good listener with your child. When you play games together, teach them to be a good sport. You can promote skills like cooperation and compromise by doing projects together, such as making a family dinner. https://bit.ly/3lpU5Tr

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Make time for fun, relaxing reading - Helping with schoolwork isn't the only way to support your child's education. One of the best things you can do is to encourage them to read for fun and relaxation. Print out a story they can read in the bathtub. Cozy up under a blanket and read by flashlight. To find more time, limit recreational screen time and offer reading as a replacement. The first two weeks may be hard, but it will get easier. https://bit.ly/3p47AKO
Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Encourage your teen to create history time lines - Time lines are a great study tool. They help students see how one thing led to another and put ideas into context. To make a time line, your teen should first set boundaries. When did the event begin and end? Then they should identify contributing events, and summarize key points, such as who, what and where. Encourage them to add pictures and to use color to distinguish different factors in the event. https://bit.ly/3k4RpsQ

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Is too much togetherness fraying family nerves? - Current circumstances mean families are spending more time at home together. To keep time with your teen positive, involve them in planning family activities. Then try to stay in the moment. Imagine you are enjoying a family walk. Then you start grilling your teen about their math grade. What do you think they will say the next time you suggest doing something together? Save criticism for a time when you can talk in private. https://bit.ly/2U0TknJ

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Talk about what makes a decision wise - As kids grow older, they have to learn how to make good choices. Help your child learn by making them aware of the choices they make every day. Discuss what makes a choice responsible, such as how it affects others and whether it helps your child achieve a goal or meet an expectation. Talk to them about decisions you've made and what factors you considered while making them. https://bit.ly/3l5wGGB

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Good feelings, not bribes, motivate students - Should you offer your child incentives to do schoolwork? Don't promise money or material things in advance, say teachers. Instead, respond to hard work with something that helps your child feel good about themselves. Offer specific praise that lets them know exactly what they’ve done right. Other appropriate rewards might include special time with you, or letting your child select a movie for the family to watch. https://bit.ly/3557L0n

Parent Connection Tip of the Day: Encourage appreciation by thanking your child - The best way to get your child to do what you want is to set an example. So, to help them learn to appreciate the people and things around them, begin by thanking them. You can thank your child for listening, showing good manners, setting the table or working hard on schoolwork. If you haven't thanked your child by bedtime, do it then. They'll fall asleep feeling good about themselves and you. https://bit.ly/38mD6h4

"Mrs. Bryn Coates is new to John B. Dey Elementary School as fifth-grade teacher. Her joy of teaching is infectious, as is her delightful spirit and seemingly always positive attitude. 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!
