GRADUATION GUIDES YOUR FUTURE!
Kindergarten graduation, then high school graduation, then...COLLEGE GRADUATION. That’s Gardner’s goal for EVERY STUDENT. We want our students to visualize graduation someday and we have launched an early college awareness campaign in our school district. Our new tradition is to wear college t-shirts on the LAST MONDAY of each
month. |

Did You Know?
1) Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe signed a bill last year that bans students from wearing clothing that exposes "underwear, buttocks or the breast of a female." "We feel the bill can improve the learning environment in schools," said Donna Morey, president of the Arkansas Education Association. Lawmakers also said that students should learn to dress in a way that is acceptable in the workplace as they prepare to enter it. 2) Arkansas and Louisiana passed laws this year forbidding anyone from smoking in cars carrying young children. Courts are ordering smoke-free environments in custody and visitation disputes. "We are very rapidly moving to protect children from secondhand smoke," says John Banzhaf, executive director of Action on Smoking and Health. "Even from their own parents and grandparents." Former surgeon general Richard Carmona said in June that children exposed to secondhand smoke suffer an increased risk of respiratory ailments and sudden infant death syndrome |

PARENTS, GET INVOLVED!
1. Have conversations with your child about school every day. Ask questions that can be answered with more than a "yes" or "no" and really listen to your child’s answers.
2. Check your child’s work at home. Make sure your child has done a complete job with assignments.
3. Keep track of grades. Open your EDLINE account.
4. Learn about standardize tests. Find out what your child is expected to take and when they are given.
5. Have your child at school each day and make sure he/she is on time. Don’t check your child out early. Keep him/her at school the entire day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PARENT POWER . . . .
There are many ways you can support your child’s learning and school.
Here are a few ideas:
Spend a few minutes every evening looking over handouts your youngster brings home. Fill out forms and return the next day.
Tell your child’s teacher if you can help them out at school or home.
Make sure teachers know you appreciate their efforts.
Contact your youngster’s teacher immediately if you see a problem. Working together will help your child succeed.
Attend conferences, parent meetings, and school events regularly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early Bird Reminder:
Students who arrive at school BEFORE 7:30 A.M. must be signed in by a parent.
Go to the library to sign your child in, please. Thanks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR P. E.
Mr. Buth suggests that students wear tennis shoes for days they have Physical
E d u c a t i o n class.
We’ve had students in sandals and flip flops that are not made for running and
exercise.
Gardner cannot replace shoes that break.
We can not call parents to bring more shoes for their c h i l d / children.
They will have to sit out.
Thanks for your assistance!
