The Parents' Guide to Student Success
The Parents’ Guide to Student Success http://www.openstreetsgreenbay.com was developed by the National PTA in response to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics. Created by teachers, parents, education experts, and others from across the country, the standards provide clear, consistent expectations for what students should be learning at each grade in order to be prepared for college and career. National PTA® created the guides for grades K-8 and two for grades 9-12 (one for English language arts/literacy and one for mathematics). The Guide includes:
- Key items that children should be learning in English language arts and mathematics in each grade, once the standards are fully implemented.
- Activities that parents can do at home to support their child's learning.
- Methods for helping parents build stronger relationships with their child's teacher.

Hello Parents and Families!!
As the end of the approaches, I’d like to share our Life Skills news with you. Our students have recently learned about how to keep their bodies safe and healthy. They have also learned about healthy communication, Big Voice, friendship, and personal safety in recent weeks. The kids enjoy learning about ways to stand up to bullying behaviors! We practiced using assertiveness and how to respectfully stand up for themselves and others using their “Big Voice”: “I don’t like that, please STOP!”
Life Skills incorporates many useful lessons for social functioning. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Programs I have utilized throughout the last 5 years at Bah Harbor including: Winner’s Social Thinking, Dr. Bailey’s Conscious Discipline, and Gibbs’ TRIBES, help students to adjust to their surroundings and be efficient learners. The Center for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning or C.A.S.E.L has found that these programs:
Improve students’ social-emotional skills, attitudes about self and others, connection to school, and positive social behavior; and reduce conduct problems and emotional distress.
As summer is right around the bend, please keep in mind the following tips:

- Exercise with your children—30 minutes daily, 5 times per week
- Kids and Parents: Always wear a bicycle helmet (even on your scooter!)
