Our friends from Frankly shared this timely reminder so we're sharing it with you!
This Month's Focus: PRESENCE
Children notice when we are truly present. When we put down the phone, look them in the eye, and really listen, we send a simple but powerful message: You matter to me. Yet, nearly two out of three parents say their phone gets in the way during time when they could be connecting with their kids.
It doesn’t take a lot of time or effort to be present. A few focused minutes can help a child feel heard, valued, and connected. These are small moments, but those small moments build trust and strengthen relationships over time.
Try This: Set aside your phone during one conversation, car ride, or activity. Give your child your full attention and see where the moment leads.

Strong connections help our students thrive!
Last month we introduced Frankly, a free resource packed with simple, practical ideas to build stronger connections at home and across our school community.
Teachers are already using these strategies in the classroom, and we want every Lubbock ISD family involved. Research shows that strong family and school connections play a vital role in helping students feel supported, engaged and ready to succeed.
