The RISD MJROTC will compete in a JROTC drill competition on January 25 at Dayton High School in Dayton, TX. Good luck!
Help your teen avoid getting sidetracked in class:
The teacher is speaking: "Amoebas take in food through a process known as 'active transport.'" Your teen thinks, "What's active transport? Sounds like a truck." Suddenly, he's thinking about 18-wheelers and has forgotten the amoebas. To keep his mind from wandering, encourage your teen to just jot down words or phrases he doesn't understand, circle them and then continue listening. Later, he can get clarification.

Everyone benefits when you get involved at school:
Volunteers work for free, but not for nothing. There are lots of benefits to getting involved at school. You'll learn what's going on and get another perspective on what your child tells you. You'll have things to talk about with your child. You'll have a chance to develop valuable skills, such as project management or fundraising. And you'll be able to make a difference to every child in the school.

Congratulations to the 7th grade A team! Royal Jr High Tournament Champs!
Don’t miss tonight’s RJH theater performance of “Our Place”. This story tells us about a place. A special place. A broken down dock that only a few know about. A dock built with tears and laughter and love. A dock that sees love and pain, light and dark, life...and death.
Wednesday January 22, 630 PM at the RJH auditorium.
***This play does deal with topics that may be sensitive to some audience members.***
Give your child the power to answer questions:
"How do you spell…?" "What’s a…?" "Where is…?" Your child is full of questions. It's important that she learn to answer them herself. Keep a few basic reference books, such as an encyclopedia, a dictionary, an atlas and a thesaurus, on hand or bookmarked online. Show your child how to use them. She will not only answer her own question, she'll learn how to find the answers to others.

After-school activities foster a school connection:
Want your teen to get better grades? Consider signing her up for a school-based after-school activity like band or sports. One long-term study determined just how important these activities are. Students who take part in them tend to get better grades. They feel more connected to school and attend more regularly. And they are more likely to graduate and go to college than students who don't participate.

Memory strategies help information stick: Students often need to memorize lists of facts, dates or definitions. Share this tip with your teen: Divide long lists into chunks. Instead of trying to learn all the bones in the body at once, he should memorize the bones in the leg, then the arm, and so on. Another strategy is to make up acronyms, rhymes or songs about the information. Your teen can also visualize the material or link it in his mind to something familiar.

Easier mornings start the night before:
In many families, weekday mornings are often messy and disorganized. To make yours more manageable, get ready the night before. Have your child lay out clothes, finish homework and put his backpack by the door. Make sure he gets enough sleep, too. Sleepy, crabby kids are hard on parents and teachers and they can't learn well. Stock portable breakfast choices that can go out the door with your child.
