November 2 - 18, Cline Elementary hosted a Harvest for the Holidays “in-house” food drive to benefit Christian Helping Hands. Food and products were collected for Christian Helping Hands, an area food pantry, which services 18 different churches in the
Pearland and Friendswood area.
Thank you to all of our students and parents for a very successful food drive.

Work With Your School For Academic Success
Research consistently shows that children whose parents are involved with the school are more likely to do well academically. Why? Because their parents tell them that they value education and educators-and they put their words into action by working with the school.
To send this message to your child:
- Attend back- to -school night, conferences and other events at your child’s school.
- Read all the material sent home with your child. And be sure to sign and return forms.
- Monitor homework. Expect your child to do his best and to submit assignments on time.
- Offer to help. Even if you can’t volunteer at school, you may be able to help from home. An hour of your time can make a difference.
- Support school rules. Read the school handbook. Know the policies for attendance, behavior and homework.
- Comment positively about teachers and school policies. If you have a concern, let your child’s teacher know.

Mrs. Hanks’ Kindergarten students recently had a guidance lesson about responsibility. We discussed the three areas (home, school and community) where we can show responsibility. As a class, we read sentences about responsible behavior and decided which area each responsible behavior belonged (home, school or community). The students made a “Responsibility Book” to take home.

Dear Parents,
During the year, you will be receiving Firm, Fair & Consistent, a newsletter, from the counselor’s office to foster better communication and cooperation between you as parents and the school. This newsletter was created to help families guide their students toward school success using routines and other positive discipline techniques. Research continues to prove that parent participation is primary to the success of a child’s education, “The overwhelming conclusion of parent involvement research over the years is that what parents do at home has a critical influence on their children's success in school”(responsiveclassroom.com). Firm, Fair & Consistent is research based and will help you build respect, responsibility, and good character traits in your child and toward their learning. There is a link on my website to this monthly newsletter.
Enjoy the year!
Sincerely,
Michelle Bowman
Counselor – C.W. Cline Elementary
