VERITAS Continuous Learning Plan: Parent Expectations
A) Greet your son each day as if he is the most important part of your life.
Note: All boys have a strong desire to be Known & Loved. Don’t be fooled by how close they keep their cards to their chest. And remember... it is always important to separate the behaviour from the person.
B) Remember that community is our top priority. Try to have your son understand his role within his community.
C) Show you are interested in his distance learning. Keep explaining the opportunity he has to explore a new way of learning.
D) Ensure you have enough communication from the school.
E) Make sure your son is getting enough sleep.
NO DEVICES IN THE BEDROOM PAST A PRE-DETERMINED HOUR.
F) Promote literacy.
G) Recognize effort.
Note: Recognizing effort has a greater impact than recognizing achievement.
H) Promote the French language and culture.
I) Remember: you are your sons' most important role model.
J) ESPECIALLY DURING THIS TIME, ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF WHAT REALLY MATTERS
