         Welcome to the Erwin Guidance Department

****Quick Tips on How Parents Can Help Children Succeed on 
              EOG Tests:
*Attendance makes a difference--teachers can't teach students who aaren't in        school.
*Good Health=Good Test Scores--Your child must be physically fit.
      Be sure you child always eats a good breakfast, gets plenty of sleep (8-9 hours 
      daily), and exercise every day.
*Comprehension--Use the newspaper, use nonfiction books
*Reading Rate--schedule reading time every day and have you child read silently.
*Vocabulary--Learn a new word every day, have a "newspaper scavenger hunt"

  Overcome Test Anxiety:
    Don't cram
    Read the directions carefully
    Don't be afraid to skip a question--if there's time, go back to the items you skipped
          (from the Parent Institute)

WHY DOES ATTENDANCE MATTER?
*You're likely to get better grades.  You can't learn if you aren't in school. Students who come to class do better in school.
*You're likely to get a better job. The habits you set now--attending class every day and coming to school on time--will carry over into the workplace.
*You're more likely to stay out of trouble.  One study found that 78% of those who ended up in prison had a first arrest for school truancy.
*You'll be more likely to graduate.  Missing too many classes is often the first step toward dropping out.  Students who drop out of high school have a higher rate of unemployment.                           (from: The Parent Institute)
