Matrix Behavior Expectation

Shanawaski Davis,Social Worker

Every Minute CountsWays to prevent

tardiness:1. Have your child

prepare their backpacks, outfits, etc… the evening before to help mornings go more smoothly.

2. Have your child get into bed at a decent time. The younger your child is the more sleep he or she needs.

3. Get your child an alarm clock and begin to train him or her to be responsible for rising when the alarm goes off.

4. Don’t ever let a child wait until the morning to do homework, get papers signed, or pack a lunch.

5. Let your child eat breakfast at school to avoid the morning hassle !

6. Try to make wellness visits after school so
