v sf ® Vf “ . I} oe —~ Students benefit from open communications be- tween school and parents. This was the purpose of an orientation program re- cently held for first grade parents at the Dallas Township Elementary School. ' The general program was conducted by Ruth Husband, elementary principal, and Patricia Russin, elementary guid-, ance counselor. Mrs. Hus- band described school dis- trict practices and policies that affected first grade students. A brief explana- tion was also given of the first grade reading pro- gram and the student pro-' gress report system. Mrs. Russin discussed changes occurring from the kinder- garten program to the first grade program. She stressed the effect these changes have on the stu- dents physically, psycho- logically, and socially. The parents were then given an opportunity to meet with their children’s first grade teachers, Mrs. Kay Scott, Mrs. Cheryl Miskiel, Mrs. Betsy Pleban, and Mrs. Mary Alice Blazes, on ‘a more personal basis. In these small group meetings the teachers explained home- room classroom proce- dures and instructional activities. At the conclusion of the evening’s activities an evaluation - questionnaire was completed by the parents. These responses will be used to plan future programs to continue the information sharing pro- cess between parents and the Dallas School District for the benefit of the stu- dents. How a parent reacts when a child says he doesn’t like school is im- portant. James KE. Van Horn, Extension family sociologist at The Penn- sylvania State University, says the wise parent will take this as a cue to show more concern and en- couragement toward the child’s activities in school. Look at the going-to- school experience through the child’s eyes. To him it means new children, a new place, new adults, and new things to do. It’s not un- common for some children to have difficulty adjusting to these new surroundings and experiences. If a child is having dif- ficulty at school, Van Horn offers some ways to help him. Encourage family sharing, perhaps at The executive board of the Lake Elementary P.T.A. met Sept. 15 at the home of Marilyn Kuschke. The president, Lynn Austin, opened the meeting with reports following. N ™ The ‘‘Volunteers In Action’ of Lake-Lehman is a school-endorsed program open to the people of the community who are in- terested in joining as a volunteer in any of the six schools in the Lake- Lehman district. Anyone in the com- munity; parent or grand- parent, man or woman, employed or retired, can help in many areas that will benefit students. Some of the areas are: general classroom, cafeteria, workers, learning centers and one-to-one tutoring. Volunteers in education can help the growth of students ‘by providing possibilities for interaction with people of varied ages and experiences. A volunteer can sup- plement the work of teachers and staff and permit them more time to mealtime, when each family member tells what happened at work or at school. Develop a noticeable interest in the child's classroom victories as well as his defeats. A good mark deserves praise as much as a problem needs un- derstanding. Build on the child's natural urge to explore and develop new skills. En- courage him or her to read or make regular trips to the library. Supplement classroom learning with educational toys. Be interested in the child’s school work, but don’t smother him with concern. Be ready to help with homework problems, but only when asked. Finally, make the most of the opportunities to visit the child’s teachers to learn of their observations. The first assembly of this year will be on bike safety. It will be on Tuesday, Sept. 27 with Cpl. Pat Higgins, of the Pennsylvania State Police as the speaker. Parents are also asked to Left to right, are teachers Mary Alice Blzes, Betsy Cannon, Kay Scott, and Cheryl Miskiel. (Photo by Charlot M.
