Share one of your favorite school memories with your child. Invite them to share theirs from this week.
👀 Sit with your kid and scroll their apps with them. Not snooping—coaching. You might even learn what “rizz” means.
Do a “digital audit” as a family—look at how much screen time sneaks in. Make a small change together.
Set aside time today to check your email or parent portal for updates. Important info doesn’t deliver itself!
🍎 Homework hack: Brains work in sprints, not marathons. Try 20 minutes on, 5 minutes off. Even adults would be smarter if we did this.
Ask your child to teach you something new they learned today. Kids love being the expert.
No school today! Use this time to rest or do one fun activity as a family.
We’re practicing safety tips with our Pre-K and elementary students! They are learning what to do in an intruder drill using calm, age-appropriate language. Please talk with your child about the importance of listening and staying quiet.
Write a short note and tuck it in your child's lunchbox/backpack. Encouragement goes further than caffeine.
🛑 Reminder: “Private account” doesn’t mean “safe account.” Teach your kid that screenshots never expire.
Take a “Tech Timeout” tonight. Play a board game, shoot hoops, or bake something instead.
Practice the “stranger danger” talk—simple reminders about who to trust and what to do if they feel unsafe.
🎒 Backpack truth: Pack it at night. Otherwise, you’re one broken zipper away from a morning meltdown.
Celebrate progress, not perfection. Ask: “What’s one thing you got better at today?”
Make Monday nights “Meal Math.” Let kids help measure, count, or read recipes while you cook.
Ask your child what the funniest thing at school was this week. Humor opens doors.
📱 Parent detective 101: Scroll that friend list. If your kid can’t introduce you to every “friend” face-to-face, time for a chat.
Review emergency contacts today. Update the school if phone numbers have changed.
Remind kids: phones/devices stay tucked away during class time. Model it—put yours away during dinner, too.
