As the first marking period ends and conferences begin, I am sure many parents asked, “What can I do to help my child at home?” I am a strong believer that students need to get out and be social. I believe that parents should organize play dates, get their child involved in extracurricular activities, and o�er many opportunities for their child to interact with their peers outside of school. I firmly believe that students need to be socially and emotionally prepared in order to take on the rigors of academics. With this said, I can o�er a few things parents can do at home to help their child. These suggestions are only recommendations and may not work for every child:

1. Make report cards a positive experience. Ask, "What do you think your report card will tell us?" Getting ready is helpful. Understand that a report card is just one small measure of your child. A child with poor grades still has plenty of strengths. Find something to praise. Focus on how to improve.

2. Do the most di�icult homework first. Save "easy" subjects for when your child is tired.

3. Find a quiet place to do homework. It should be a place that is free of distractions (I do not recommend the bedroom, which usually has distractions).

4. Read, Read, Read

5. Family reading time-Turn o� the electronic devices and model for your children a special time in the evening that the whole family devotes to reading.

6. Set routines at home-students crave structure.

7. Have a large calendar that the whole family utilizes for events and work.

8. Ask questions about the books your child is reading. Have your child answer the questions by using evidence from the book to support their answer.

9. Family write-Start a story and each family member can add a sentence to the story. Before you know it your family has written a whole story and it teaches students to read what was written and to add meaningful text.

10. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate-The teachers are a resource. Do not let your child know if you think they are struggling or if you are frustrated with something in school. Be proactive and reach out to the teacher for tips on how to help your child at home.

UPDATED FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16th

MADISON PUBLIC LIBRARY

CONSTRUCTION CLOSING SCHEDULE

The Madison Public Library has announced a revised construction schedule for public service hours.

Borough Engineer Bob Vogel updated the Trustees on the progress and unexpected issues involved in

the HVAC replacement project. These include safety issues which would make public access to the

building difficult to remedy. The Library Board of Trustees made a decision to delay the Library’s re-

opening due to these unforeseen circumstances. Plans now call for re-opening to the public on Monday,

November 9; however, patrons should continue to check the Library website for any changes which can

occur with a construction project of this size and nature.

Library Director Nancy Adamczyk added that the Trustees and staff regret any inconvenience to the

Library’s patrons. “We are very grateful to the public libraries in our surrounding towns for their service

to Madison Library patrons."

Staff will continue to be available in the Chase Auditorium Monday – Friday 4 – 7 pm and Saturday 2 – 5

pm (beginning October 24) to process returned materials and allow patrons to pick up materials

requested from other libraries through the use of the Library’s website. All Chase Auditorium activities

scheduled during October will be held.

Watch the Library’s website (madisonnjlibrary.org) for further information. If anyone has a specific

question or concern, messages may be left at 973-377-0722 extension 223.
