Our busy lifestyles do not always support eating together. However, whenever possible, take the time to eat with your family. Talk about your days and upcoming plans for the week.

Helpful and Informative Meal-Time Questions

  1. School is your first and most important job. Why is going to school every day important, even if it’s through Seesaw or Google Classroom?
  2. You need to go to school every day. How will that help you when you grow up and graduate and get a job?
  3. Why might school be harder if you are absent more often?
  4. Why is it important to always try your best in your classes, no matter what?
