Does your child do chores?
As the school year starts we begin to think about the new responsibilities our children will have.  Chores around the household are some of the best ways to teach our Character Counts traits.  A list of age-appropriate chores can be found here. Start helping your children to be responsible by helping  them select an appropriate chore to do around your house!




Parents who wish to consider course or grade level acceleration should review appropriate placement criteria referenced in the District Student Progression Plan http://www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/depts/cs/spp and Parent Resource Guide .
