Required information that you will need to bring with you on that day to com plete your child's registration are: Proof of income- Check stub from your paycheck on the tenth of the month (no draw check), verifiction from your employer of your cor rect salary, W-2 form, social secur ity (copy of check), or a copy of what you receive from Welfare Annual achievement testing soon During the week of May 1-5, students in all of this district's schools will be taking their annual achievement tests, called the Cali fornia Achievement Tests or"CAT" tests. Students will be doing some practice tests on Monday, May 1, then begin the series of three days of tests on May 2. Testing begins the first thing in the morning so it is very important tht students arrive on time to school. You can help your child to perform at their best by making sure they get a good breakfast each day and extra sleep at night. The teachers will be working to prepare the students for this test by reviewing with the students what they have learned throughout this year. This review will be a little different from their regular daily assignments, as they will be giving them problems where they have to be able to choose the correct answer from a short list of possible answers. These types of multiple choice questions will give the students a chance to think. They will also be giving the sutdents several oppor tunities to practice marking answer sheets-another activity the students rarely do in their regular classroom -work. We are proud of the acheive . ments of your children this year. Please help us to fairly and accu rately check the students ability by encouraging your children to do their best on these tests. Your vote of confidence in the children will go a long ways towards building their confidence in themselves. Culture Fair At Buff Elementary the sixth grade kids had a Cultural Fair on February 23, 1 989. They had to do a project on their culture.

By Lynn Chavez, Aerie G ibson, Cameron Jack and Shadrack Martinez April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month Words Can Hurt Words can hurt and make a child feel alone, helpless, and not loved. When a parent uses mean words those words can last forever. Parents hurt their children without lifting a hand. Pay attention to how your child talks with his friends. Is he mean, using unkind words learned at home? Give kids hugs, smiles, say "I love you" often. Praise your kids with "Good job"and tell them how proud you are of them and why. Let your child know they are important to you. Help make them proud of themselves. This isn't as easy as hit ting. It takes time and practice, but you and your children are worth it!

The gift of struggle Are we stealing from our child ren? Despite our best intentions, we may be robbing them of the opportunity to struggle, leaving them vulnerable to underachieve ment and suicide. Schools today face an epidemic of underachievers, yet these child ren beleive with all their hearts that they are incapable of doing the work asked of them. They say school is boring, irrelevant or too hard. They may seem confused, under constant stress or incapable of doing more. Well-meaning friends may sug gest that parrnts be more under- Ejitniirie each f m ity mrn - U - Co to iruK 'orr 'r nnluilrd prulutt. Soak comt ind trvvJien in 10 minulet or sok in loin. hour.

Sometimes this is right, but often it is the worst possible suggestion. Mom and Dad "to-the-rescue": This same child may have similar prob lems when it comes to doing other tasks at home. The youngster has learned at an early age that adults will rescue him when the going gets tough. Children quickly become addicted to adult help and begin to believe the adults' unstated mes sage that they succeed only with assistance. Underachievers often have par ents who had to struggle when they were children. They grew up to sav, " don't want my kids to have to struggle like I did. They deserve better." Their children live in a home where struggle is an enemy rather than an opportunity. The problem was less severe years ago. Parents preoccupied with the Depression, World War II and scratching out a living gave their kids tasks which forced them to help the family. Struggling at home prepared children to struggle at school. Today's underachievers believe failure is too painful. Yet recent studies tell us that children denied the opportunity to struggle during their early years are at high risk for Kindergarten round-up May 24 The Warm Springs Kindergarten Round-up is set for May 24, 1989 at the Warm Springs Elementary gym. Parents and incoming kindergarteners are invited to visit the school between 1 1:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Students may be registered at this time. Please bring a birth record and immunization record for the child being registered.

Children need jobs to do around the house and they need parents who con sider this a top priority. The most effective way to do this is to say to the kids, "There's no hurry on the chores. I just want them done before your next meal. "Missing a meal is momentarily unpleasant but avoid ing a struggle hurts self-concept in the long-term. I was asked recently if chores should be assigned to a teenager who has lots of studying, as well as many school responsibilities and a part-time job. Teenagers become experts at believeing they have more important things to do than chores. They even decide that studying is more important. My answer was, "Absolutely! Chores come first." Say to your youngster, " hope you get fast enough at your chores so the rest of your activities won't suffer. " Sylvia B. Rimm, Ph.D., author of Under-achievement Syndrome, says many children are given chores at home. One of her twelve tips for helping underachievers is, "Child ren feel more tension when they are worrying about their work than when they are doing their work. " sH r t
