Supporting Students at Home<\/h2>\n
Here are some tips you can follow at home to help ensure your child\u2019s success at Bradley Tech.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Make attendance a priority. <\/strong>There is an undeniable link between a student\u2019s attendance and their overall success. Call the school attendance line when your child will be absent: (414) 212-2400. We must be sure every student has arrived safely and follow up with any who are absent. We must also record absences correctly.<\/li>\n
- Make sure your child arrives at school on time every day (8:00 a.m.).<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Communicate with us. <\/strong>By communicating with the school, you are able to keep up with your child. It is recommended that parents attend parent-teacher conferences and reach out any time there are concerns or changes that may affect students.<\/li>\n
- Set realistic expectations. <\/strong>It is always important to set standards to ensure that our children are working towards attaining a goal. Make sure that these standards are realistic and attainable. By setting expectations, we can hold our students accountable for their education.<\/li>\n
- Keep your child healthy. <\/strong>Make sure your child is getting enough rest and eating right. It is important that our students be prepared to take on their day. By caring for your child\u2019s physical, emotional, and mental health, you are ensuring that your child is ready to succeed in school.<\/li>\n
- Ask for help. <\/strong>We understand that there are often obstacles that affect families. We are here to help. If you would like to talk to a school counselor, psychologist, or social worker<\/a>, please reach out. Our goal is to collaborate with parents and families to build a strong support network for our students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Qualifying of\u00a0FoodShare requires meeting income, asset and expense tests that must\u00a0be proven by the applicant. The applicant must be unemployed, underemployed, work for low wages, or subsist on Social Security income or a small pension.\u00a0 FoodShare\u00a0cannot be used\u00a0to buy alcohol, cigarettes, medicine, pet food,\u00a0toiletries, hot foods, prepared food items, or fast food.\r\n\r\nThe costs of running the FoodShare Program are split 50\/50 between the federal and state government.
