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 ‘‘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.
