Counselor's Corner
Hi Titan families!
We are rewarding our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students who were on time and present each day of the Georgia Milestones Assessment with a BINGO Bash and Freeze Pops. Perfect attendance students were invited to the cafeteria for this event and entered a raffle for a chance to win a Chick-Fil-A gift card. The third grade is celebrated this week, and 4th and 5th will participate next week. As always, we encourage all of our students to be READY (present) each day!
Each month, classes with perfect attendance are given a chance to receive Snowie Snow Cones as an attendance reward. Congratulations to April’s attendance winners! The following classes received their snow cones today.
K - Brown
1st - Banks
3rd - Gray
4th - Henry
5th - Vo
Family Engagement Tips
Here's a way to make schoolwork a game
Here's a creative way to motivate your child to do schoolwork: On sticky labels, write small rewards your child would like, such as choosing what's for dinner, watching a TV show, or reading an extra book together. Then get a spinner from a board game and apply the labels to it. When your child completes assigned work without being reminded, offer the chance to spin the dial for a reward.

Focus discipline on the Dos, not the Don'ts
When it comes to discipline, it's more effective to tell children what they should do than what they shouldn't. "Please gather up your schoolwork and put it away before dinner" is more likely to get a positive response than "Don't leave your homework all over the table!" That's because it gives your child a chance to do the right thing without any criticism from you.
