5.                  Choosing appropriate methods for solving peer interaction problems such as:

This is a celebration that your child took responsibility today when he/she had difficulty following school expectations.  Your child has identified some behaviors that kept him/her from their best learning.  Consequences at home are not expected.  What would be most helpful for your child is that you take the time to discuss these items with your child and, together, develop a plan that will help them reach their potential.  Thank you.
