Randolph School News for September 21, 2012

 

PLC Early Out This Tuesday!  Students Dismissed at 2:18!

 

DRESS CODE:

Parents, please check your daughters’ shorts when they dress for school.  Some fashion may include short shorts, but they’re not appropriate for school wear.  Too short?  That’s when underwear and/or butt cheeks show.  Too short?  That’s when you can’t see the shorts under the shirts or jackets.  Please take care of this at home by counseling your girls on appropriate school wear. Starting Monday, phone calls will be made home for other shorts or pants.  Questions?  Please let me know.

LOVE and LOGIC MOMENT

Shaping Self-Concept, one of our most popular audios, teaches a very special type of love. It’s the type that allows our kids to struggle…lets them work through their trials…and guides them toward independence instead of insecurity.

 

This love can be expressed daily by:

• Allowing kids to wrestle with tying their shoes…instead of automatically jumping in and doing it for them.

• Letting them dress themselves…even if the clothes they choose don’t match.

• Teaching them how to talk to their teachers about problems at school…rather than always doing it for them.

• Expecting that they speak up and order meals for themselves…instead of ordering for them.

• Having them call the insurance company and arrange for their own car insurance…instead of doing it all for them.

• Letting them do most of the work required to fill out their college applications…rather than preparing all of the paperwork for them.

• Remembering that the more things they learn to do for themselves, the stronger and more confident they will become!

In Shaping Self-Concept you’ll hear even more tips for helping your kids develop the type of unselfish and humble confidence required to enjoy success in life. You’ll also hear how this confidence dramatically increases a child’s motivation to do well in school.

 

Isn’t it ironic that our kids have to face some tough times in order to live confident, joyful lives?

Thanks for your reading! Our goal is to help as many families as possible. If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend.
