The decision-making part of the brain continues to develop into early adulthood. Help your teen learn from poor decisions by asking questions like “What went well, and what didn’t go so well?” or “What might you do differently next time?” #GCMSOpportunity
Stress the importance of doing math homework the same day it’s assigned. The information will be fresher in your teen’s mind, which should make studying easier. And your child will know right away if additional help from the teacher is needed. #GCMSOpportunity

Teens who read a lot have an advantage. They tend to read faster and understand more of what they read—and they often write better, too. Encourage yours to read frequently, even if it’s not traditional novels. A coding manual, or role-playing game book counts, too.
New teachers & their mentors attended professional development activities yesterday after school. Mrs. Frank's session was on classroom management & Mr. Parker's was on powerful task design. Learning never stops at GCMS! #GCMSOpportunity

The environment … funding for school sports …what is your teen passionate about? Suggest writing to a lawmaker to argue for change. Contact information is available at usa.gov/elected-officials. Encourage your child to share any response that comes back. #GCMSOpportunity
Saturday is the first day of spring! Day and night are equal in length, and the Northern Hemisphere will begin tilting more toward the sun. Have your child research what happens on the first days of the other seasons, too, and share the information at dinner. #GCMSOpportunity

Flexibility is a skill that employers appreciate. Encourage your teen to practice it when plans change unexpectedly. For example, if a friend cancels a FaceTime hangout, you might reach out to another friend, or use the extra time to exercise or study. #GCMSOpportunity
Teens are spending more time than ever in front of screens, and that can lead to eyestrain. Experts recommend the 20-20-20 plan to help: Every 20 minutes, take your eyes off the screen for 20 seconds and look at something at least 20 feet away. #GCMSOpportunity
Recently, Team 2 8th Grader Bailey Yaden qualified for the National Beta Convention by earning 5th place in Poetry at the State Convention! Way to go, Bailey! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
