Time to Invest in Your Unique Child's Potential
Parents Take Action:
Dear parents,
I am encouraging you to become more invested and empowered in your child’s educational growth and development. As a parent, you have the unique opportunity to help your child:
- feel safe and secure,
- improve their communication skills,
- build stronger relationships with you and their teachers,
- practice good decision-making skills,
- energize their inner-zeal,
- and develop stronger skills for success.
To support you in this endeavor, I have provided some tips below on how to support your child in each of these areas. Investing in your child now will have a positive impact on their future. Let's work together to help them reach their full potential.
Thank you for your time and dedication to your child's educational growth and development.
Sincerely,
Lynn Sykora Milsho
