Help your teen sharpen note-taking skills - http://niswc.com/36iHC320271

Help your teen sharpen note-taking skills: Teachers expect students to write down and remember what goes on in class. But many teens don't know how to take helpful notes. Share these tips with your teen: Start class prepared with plenty of pens and paper. Then, start a new page every day, and leave room to clarify or add ideas later. Suggest that she use visuals such as diagrams to make things clearer. She can also circle the most important ideas. http://niswc.com/36iHC320271

Give your child a checklist to encourage quality work: Establishing positive study habits will help your child get the most out of schoolwork. To encourage her to give assignments her best effort, give her this checklist. Before she turns anything in, have her ask herself: Did I follow the directions? Is my work neat so the teacher can read it? Have I checked my spelling? Did I complete every step of each math problem? Have I double-checked my work? http://niswc.com/16iHC320271

The Royal FFA Officer Team recently met to plan for 2020-21. It was exciting to meet and hear new ideas from the team. We are ready to face the challenges ahead and we will do "Whatever it Takes" to ensure that our FFA Chapter and it's members succeed as we embrace the year.

Royal's CTE team met on 8/25 to discuss the CTE program vision, COVID safety, procedures for remote and face-to-face learning, and more. Royal CTE leaders are excited about the 2020-2021 school year, and will do "Whatever it Takes" to ensure success for our Falcon CTE learners.

Boost your child's ability to adapt and thrive If changing school situations or rules have your child unsettled, help him cope by building his resilience. Start by listening to his concerns; he may be worried about something different than you think. Then, point out his strengths and remind him of other challenges he has handled successfully in the past. Model problem-solving by thinking out loud when you decide how to handle a situation in your own life. http://niswc.com/16iGC320271

Have your teen look for the pattern in math: If your teen is staring at a math problem he doesn't know how to solve, offer him this strategy: Look for the pattern. Your teen should look at the other problems in the assignment and talk his way through each. If he finds a step that is the same in many of them, he'll have the key to solving the rest. Talking his way through to a solution will also help him remember it the next time he sees a similar problem. http://niswc.com/36iGC320271

'Consult' with your teen about education The responsibility for learning belongs to your teen. Now, instead of directing her education, think of yourself as more of a consultant. To support your teen, create an environment that promotes learning. Encourage her to set goals. Talk about things you've read lately and share interesting articles. And make it a point to discuss your own responsibilities and how you plan your time and effort to fulfill them. http://niswc.com/36hWC320271
