How Can You Help Your Child Succeed in School?

·       Set aside regular time for homework each night.  No homework?  Your child can read, practice multiplication facts, review flash cards, or play math and word games.

·       Read with your child every night.  Let your child read a book or magazine they enjoy.  Allow your child to read to you and take the time to read to your child as well.  How do athletes become so good?  Practice!  Good readers and good athletes have one thing in common-Practice!

·       Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep each night.

·       Stay in contact with your child’s teacher.  Know what homework is expected each night.  Your child’s teacher can also give you ideas on extra areas that you can work with your child.

·       Join our Booster Club.  Become involved at Hort and in your child’s educational world.

Keeping Our School Safe

Below are a few ways you can help keep our school safe:

1.    When on campus, check in at the school office and wear your “Visitor” badge for identification.

2.    Keep your child’s emergency contact card updated.  List all of your phone numbers (home, work, cell) in addition to providing at least 3 emergency contacts in the event we cannot locate you in an emergency.

3.    Drive carefully around the school zone.  Adhere to the 25 miles per hour zone and yield to buses stopped in your neighborhood.  When picking up and dropping off your child, follow our procedures which have been created to ensure the safety off all of our students.
