Q: Can Tardies Hurt my Child?
A: Our school day officially begins at 8:30 am. The time before the tardy bell is very beneficial to our students both socially and academically. This is when they catch up on events that happened the evening before, they make plans for the weekend, and generally get to know each other better. This time is also used to prepare for the day ahead. Students get their homework and books together and generally organize their day. YES, IT IS BENEFICIAL TO BE AT SCHOOL ON TIME - IF NOT EARLY!

Woods School, together with our families and community, is committed to providing every child an outstanding education by blending time-proven and innovative teaching practices in a safe and caring environment.

A GOOD START
Did you know that breakfast is the most important meal of your child’s day? It provides nutrients and energy needed to concentrate in school. Research even shows that kids who eat breakfast get better grades, pay more attention in class, and behave better. Help your youngster begin his day on the right foot.
MAKE TIME
Set the alarm to allow 10-15 unhurried minutes for breakfast. Suggest several healthy breakfast items, and let your child choose. Tip: If your youngster doesn’t like to make decisions first thing in the morning, give him breakfast choices the night before.
MAKE IT HEALTHY
Give your child a mix of protein (such as milk, eggs, cheese, or meat) and carbs (whole-grain cereal, fruit, or whole-wheat bread). The carbohydrates boost energy and help your child jump-start his day, while the protein keeps his body going strong until lunchtime.
MAKE IT KID-FRIENDLY
These quick breakfasts are sure to bring an early-morning smile to your child’s face:
Egg in a Basket: Cover a frying pan with no-fat cooking spray. Tear a hole out of a slice of whole-wheat bread, put the slice in the pan and crack an egg into the hole. Cook two minutes, flip, and cook until the egg is set and lightly browned.
Waffle Wonder: Toast a whole-grain frozen waffle. Put sliced strawberries around the edge and fill with a handful of blueberries. Serve with a side of low-fat flavored cottage cheese or yogurt.
A WALK A DAY
A daily family walk is a great way to get your child – and you – moving. Some families take a walk after dinner. Others plan a morning walk on the weekends. For parents who are home after school, that is often a great time to walk.
Figure out the best time for your families schedule, and use the time to walk and talk – you’ll be helping everyone get healthier and you’ll be spending special time together. Make the walk more fun by mixing it up; take different routes and walk at different speeds. You can even sneak in some learning time on your walk. For example, have your child count different items you pass or read the signs along the way.
