By DON PHIPPSBeaufort County SChoolS

I am confident this will be a remark-able year for the Beaufort County Schools. That fact is backed up by a simple equation: caring educators + eager and responsive students + ac-tively engaged parents/guardians + supportive communities = incredible success.

Beaufort County Schools will begin this new school year on the wave of several consecutive years with record high graduation levels and record low drop out numbers. Through the com-bined efforts, dedication, and com-mitment of the BCS team members, students, parents/guardians, and the communities that we serve, we are striving to meet the unique needs of all of our students. We are charged with preparing every student for their next step whether it is the next grade, high school, college, military service or the workforce. To help pre-pare them for each step, we must get to know each student early in their academic career and help ensure that we are preparing them for success in the field of their choice. We are work-ing toward this goal through efforts to better monitor student progress so that we can intervene early and get students back on track. We also use progress monitoring to determine if students need acceleration. In addi-tion, we are working to provide oppor-tunities to students across all of the grade levels to consider and explore career and educational options and to set goals for their future.

A critical element for student suc-cess in school is safety; students must feel safe. We work to make schools and classrooms are safe emotionally and physically. Each year we strive to improve our efforts to provide a safe environment for every student and adult. This is accomplished through comprehensive planning and audits

of school facilities as well as through drills and procedures.

An area of concern for us is bully-ing. This is a subject that we have fo-cused on to address thoroughly this year. We have revised and put proto-cols in place throughout our district to make it easier for targets of bully-ing to their experiences. All reports of bullying, whether physical, verbal, social or cyber/electronic, will be investigated by administrators. Our online Report a Bully or Harassment form, available on all school websites, makes reporting easier for the victim or someone that cares about them. The Ok to Say Hotline is a safe option for reporting bullying, harassment or any crimes occurring on our campuses. That telephone number is 940-6545.

As we embark on this new school year we hope every student will come to school every day prepared for school, prepared to participate, prepared to be challenged, and pre-pared to learn. Essential preparation includes completing assignments outside of class, getting an adequate amount of rest, having all school ma-terials in the proper place and ready for use, and eating well. Parents and guardians can help their children in these areas of preparation by moni-toring these aspects of their children’s lives and assisting as needed.

Another key element of success in school is attendance. Students who are on time to class and in school each day are able to benefit from the activi-ties planned and implemented by the teacher. They are also able to partici-pate and learn from their experiences in class and through interaction with their peers.

While technically not considered an absence, tardiness is very disrup-tive for the student, the teacher, and the students in the class. Persistent patterns of tardiness are significant as they impede a student’s progress in school. This is another area where

parents and guardians can greatly as-sist the school; please make sure your child is in school (unless sick) and on time.

The value of parents/guardians in successful education cannot be over stated. When supportive parents are working in conjunction with dedicat-ed teachers, the expectations can be unlimited. We want to remind you of a couple opportunities for parents to maintain communications with their child’s school. The first is our Parent Portal of the Blackboard Call System. Through this system you can tailor how you receive messages from the district and your child’s school. For example, you may only want text mes-sages – we have an option for that.

Also, you can stay in touch with your child’s teacher through the

school website. Once you know who your child’s teacher(s) are for the year or semester, you can become a mem-ber of the school’s website and join that teacher’s page. Once you join, you will receive announcements via email anytime the teacher posts a message or homework on their page.

We will have more details coming soon on another great communica-tions tool for parents!

Please know our doors are always open to our school families. Our ad-ministrators are always willing to make an appointment and give you their undivided attention should a concern or question arise.

Don Phipps is the superintendent of Beaufort County Schools.

The first day back to school can be a source of anxiety for both children and parents as they adjust to new routines, new teachers and friends, forthcoming homework assign-ments and, ultimately, tests.

To help parents and students kick start the new school year successfully, here are 20 tips for a successful school year. Work-ing as a family and keeping the goals simple and achievable are among the suggestions.

The most common problems that keep students from study-ing effectively are in a few

key areas, including knowing how to approach information, comprehension, test-taking methods, and personal learn-ing styles. By taking just a few simple steps, families and stu-dents can plan effective study skills for a successful academic school year.

Starting the year off on the right foot can help minimize student’s stress levels through-out the year.

Pay closer attention in class. Listen carefully.

Set up and maintain home-work and study routines.

Stay on schedule for assign-ments, especially the long-range ones like book reports, term papers, and science proj-ects. Start early, finish early.

Challenge the mind with at least one challenging book per semester.

Take a challenging course – upper level math, poetry, his-tory, science, technology.

Participate in class regularly. Take responsibility for learn-ing.

Cut down on “screen time” and increase learning time.

Stop trying to “multi-task”

when studying.Improve social skills.Exercise more and eat

healthy.Walk away from bullies.

Don’t be a bully.Select friends carefully. They

should support, encourage, mo-tivate, challenge, and inspire you.

Set aside some time each day to reflect about what you’ve accomplished, whom you’ve helped, what you want to im-prove.

See how many ways you can apply what you’re learning in

school to “real life.”Improve technology skills.Make sure homework and all

assignments are neat and orga-nized.

Be punctual for classes and other important appointments.

Disagree without being dis-agreeable.

Start thinking about the “next stage” – high school, col-lege, career, or beyond.

Enjoy the academic journey!Give your kids a strong start

in the coming school year and keep them on track all year long with these simple tips.

20 effective tips for a successful school year

Despite the warm temperatures and sunny skies, a shadow could be loom-ing as back to school season creeps closer. After weeks of summer days, late nights, varying routines and minimal mental stimulation, the return to school can seem overwhelming. The first day of school doesn’t only bring new teach-ers and new friends - it can also be a source of anxiety with homework as-signments and tests just around the cor-ner. Starting the school year off on the right foot can help minimize students’ stress levels throughout the year.

FOR STUDENTSGet Cleaning. A clean, uncluttered

room is conducive to studying. Remove junk and seldom-worn clothing. Label where belongings go.

Carve Out Homework Spot. Find a distraction- free area. Decide where you feel comfortable working. Stock the area

with supplies and tools.Get Organized. Stay on top of require-

ments before homework starts piling up. Create files for each subject. Purchase a planner for important dates.

Set Educational Goals. Whether it is striving for an A in a certain subject or handing in homework on time, setting goals can help establish a routine for the year. Set goals that are measurable, specific, reasonable and have personal value.

Know The School. Schools assist stu-dents with transitioning from one grade to another. Ask your counselor or teach-ers for help.

Be Adventurous. Step out of your comfort zone by challenging yourself. Try new extracurricular activities. Challenge yourself with harder classes.

Think Positive. Yes, going back to school means reconnecting with old friends, meeting new people, resum-

ing extracurricular activities, learning more about your favorite subjects and improving on your last year’s perfor-mance.

FOR PARENTSWhile the idea of waking up at the

crack of dawn to prepare lunches and getting to school on time might have you frazzled, know that you play a big role in getting your children motivated and excited to tackle a new school year.

Explore Your Child’s Learning Style. We learn in at least eight different ways, according to the Multiple Intelligences Theory: visually, verbally, physically, mathematically, musically, naturalisti-cally, through group activity or through quiet thinking time. Find out the best way to support your child.

Get Back In The Routine. Ease the transition by re-establishing bedtime, mealtime, reading and homework rou-

tines. Talk about the importance of structure and how routines help can eliminate being overtired or overly anx-ious.

Develop A Family Calendar. Ease the chaos, track school programs, and after-school activities. This can be on construction paper with large squares to write in all necessary information, or use a white board that is easy to revise and color-coded by family member for easy visibility.

Purchase School Supplies. Avoid the last-minute rush. Take your child so she can feel excited and in control by choos-ing her favorite colors and designs.

Be a Cheerleader. Reinforce positive feelings by talking with your child about learning and achievement. Encourage and support his academic interests and encourage him to get involved in extra-curricular activities.
