Your child has probably started school and they are a little nervous about new friends and their surroundings.

Here are a few etiquette tips that will help your child through the new school year.

• Be on time.
• Respect your teacher and call them Mr. Mrs. Ms. Miss
• Be neat and tidy.   This includes bathing, washing hands after eating, and brushing teeth.
• Send your child to school with the recommended items by the school.  Lunch money or voucher, and follow the rules as to what is allowed and not allowed (cell phones, medication etc.)
• Show respect to others.  Don’t take things that are not yours and don’t gossip or say things that are not true about other people.
• Play nicely with other kids.
• Respect the classroom rules and obey your teacher.
• Practice good sportsmanship.
• Let your child know that there will be other wide range of differences among the students in their classrooms races, religions, types of families, and living situation and some may be handicapped.

 If you want your children to have good manners, it starts at home.  Parents should be the example.
