Dodd City Independent School District

Message from the Principal

At our school, we hold the belief that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success. We are committed to providing a nurturing and challenging learning environment, and your active participation in your child's education plays a vital role in this endeavor.

Tips for Supporting Your Child's Success

To help your child achieve their full potential, here are a few tips you might find helpful:

• Establish a Consistent Homework Routine: Designate a quiet, well-lit space for homework and set a regular time for its completion. This helps your child to develop discipline and a sense of responsibility.

• Encourage Reading: Spend time reading with your child daily, even if it’s just for 15-20 minutes. This simple activity helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and a lifelong love of reading.

• Limit Screen Time: Set reasonable limits on television, video games, and other electronic devices, especially during study time. This ensures that your child remains focused and productive.

• Celebrate Effort and Progress: Focus on your child's hard work and improvement, rather than just their grades. This encourages a growth mindset and motivates them to continue striving for excellence.

• Ensure Adequate Sleep and Nutrition: A well-rested and nourished child is better able to focus and learn. Establish a bedtime routine and ensure your child has a balanced diet.

• Communicate with the Teacher: Use ParentSquare to stay in regular contact with your child's teacher to discuss their progress, address any concerns, and collaborate on strategies to support their learning.

Working Together for Success

We believe that by working together, we can create a strong foundation for your child's academic and personal growth. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the school office if you have any questions or need additional support.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Meredith Munger
