A Fun Way for Parents to Check Kids Grades




Silly Parents, 
Technology isnt just for kids

We know it's a busy world being parent. We also know it's important for us to stay connected with our children's teachers. But how can we be in so many places, and keep track of so many things, at one time???

For me, with multiple children in multiple schools, I just can't make it to every orientation, open house or parent teacher night....

Having the same problem?

Well, now a days there is a solution for this. It's Power School! This is a super fun and easy way to get connected with your childrens teachers, see their grades and know how they are doing.

OH YEAH, KIDDIES WATCH OUT; ESPECIALLY THE TEENS (WINK WINK).


This Fun Friday is ALL about the PARENTS!


If you are like me, it gets tough visiting the district website, then finding the child's grade, then finding the teacher...just to write an email to them to check up on them..

And the school/district website does not post whether or not your child handed in their homework (or the grade they got on it).

NOW- in just ONE online place you can see each of your child's classes, attendance, homework (which has been handed in OR NOT) and get the teacher's email address ALL with the click of a button!

If your school system is running any type of online software, USE IT! Don't be afraid of personal information, breach of privacy, etc. You divulge more of that using a check at the grocery store and allow more people access to your accounts and private information when using a debit card to make purchases on AMAZON.

If you're children attend WE School District, contact your teacher for your child's school appointed Username and Password and use this link to begin an account.

If you are part of another school system, talk with the principal or teachers to see if there is online software being use, if not, push for it's usage in schools.

Technology is evolving every day, don't get left behind...and don't allow your schools to either! This is a fun way for you to ...Get CONNECTED TO YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION AND HELP THEM SUCCEED...WITHOUT EVEN LEAVING YOUR COMPUTER! (Now, admit it, that does sound fun!)

Back to School Anxiety: Bullying

Image
Download “School Boy Being Stressed” by David Castillo Dominici via freedigitalphotos.net I recently wrote about how to help your child if they’re struggling with going back to school because they were bullied. My biggest most important tip was to listen, because I honestly could not write a ‘How-to-make-them-not-afraid’ column. Frankly I thought that was absurd. Fear is sometimes real. Anxiety is sometimes truly there, and for a good reason. Our job as parents isn’t to try to make it go away, it’s to try to find out the true source of those worrisome feelings. If you’d like to read more, click here. And if you’re child is struggling to find excitement about the new school year, don’t deny it, just accept it and move forward gently. Here’s some more on bullying: Family Matters Links: A Touching Story/Song Bullying: A thing of the past A Peace Poem By My Teenage Daughter A Deeper Insight into My Thoughts on People Who Bring Harm to Others Other Links: Stop Bul

Would You Rather?

Image
My kids like to play a game called ‘Would You Rather?’. I’ve always liked getting in on the fun because they usually freak out when it’s my turn to ask, ‘Would you rather?’. I will ask, ‘Would you rather…have to go to school for 365 days a year, or go without television forever?’  Or when I say, ‘Would you rather eat broccoli at every meal, or spinach?’. It’s fun to watch them squirm. Now here is one for parent’s. School shopping is finally coming to a halt (thank goodness) and there are a few items on the market that I want you to see (if you haven’t already gasped at them yourself). They are: JCPenney’s (recently controversial) Shirt for Girls: JCPenney And the 'Eye Candy' (yes, it says Eye Candy on it-actually ALL over it) notebook that I hear no one talking about and which is selling at Walmart: So, hear it goes…. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Antie….etc….. 'Would you rather ' have your teen (or younger) daughter wear the ‘too pretty for math’ shirt?        O

Good Customer Service At Home

Image
Over the years, my careers have mainly been customer service based. I started in a family business and then moved on up through the rungs from waitress, to hostess, to sales associate, manager and eventually the GM of a hotel. In all my years, my training taught me that you should always do your best to take your customer all the way to what they need, make them happy, and never leave them until they are done with you. I pride myself on my customer service abilities. Though the other day, I think I failed at customer service in my own home! I was getting ready to cut my daughter's hair and because of how long it had gotten (she's been growing it out for a year!) I felt this time it would be best  if instead of me spritzing it with water, she could wash and condition it real quick. She was fully clothed so I just suggested she run into the bathroom and wash her hair in the tub. She’s fourteen. I suppose I just assumed that she knew how to kneel over the tub and do it.
