Parent Corner Pearls and links to help you in one of the most difficult and wonderful times of parenting. Helpful links, websites, and suggestions Tip # 1 take your child's cell phone at night and turn it off.  So many kids are exhaused and brag about how late they are on their phones texting or talking.

Mrs. Spallone's dream--That all parents would monitor the time their kids are on computers (mostly im'g), cellphones, and game systems and DEMAND that their child spend an EQUAL amount of time engaged in reading, physical activity preferably outdoors, playing a board game or cards with family, or creating something.  All research shows that this would in fact increase your child's success in school and their overall well being.  I have done this myself and will tell you that IT WORKS!! Be willing to watch the clock, pull the plug, AND PROVIDE alternatives for your child!

COLLEGE AND CAREER CORNER It is never too early to start looking at colleges with your HS child! In fact,going to see schools on the way to family vacations or trips is a low pressure and fun way to encourage your child to look forward to the future and to see what they are working towards! Your child gets into college based upon their Grade Point Average (GPA) and their entrance exam scores-SAT and ACT exams taken usually spring of Junior Year. Cram classes exist for these exams--online classes, prep books via Amazon.com or bookstores, CD computer programs, Homer Center 4 the Arts($200), Manlius Pebble Hill ($450) in Dewitt, Ithaca's Kaplan ($800)Most kids MUST PREPARE to do well on these exams long in advance.
