HEALTHY HABITS SHOULD BE A FAMILY AFFAIR

As cute first-day pictures fade into memory and frenzied schedules become the norm, it’s more important than ever to prioritize your children’s health. Encourage the whole family to focus on healthy habits, and you’ll ensure your young scholars get the most out of this school year!

PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR

Make sure to schedule a back-to-school checkup with your child’s pediatrician— it can address not only physical and developmental needs, but also social and emotional issues.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Good health is linked to school performance, so keep these dietary guidelines in mind: Limit solid fats, cholesterol, sodium, added sugars, and refined grains. Start every day with a healthy breakfast, which improves cognitive function.

GET MOVING

Research shows that moving our bodies (at any age) can increase our concentration, attitudes, cognitive skills, and attention. Exercise has also been proven to improve children’s behavior in the classroom, so make sure kids age 6 to 17 get at least an hour of physical activity every day.

GO TO SLEEP

After a relaxing summer, the structure of a new school year brings an opportunity to reset. Evaluate your child’s exercise, sleep, and screen times to create a routine that helps your family to get a good night’s rest.

Whether you are concerned with how much your baby is eating, social concerns for your 4 year old, or your teenager is having body image issues, we’re here for you

GERM ALERT

Infections increase each year when kids return to school. Help prevent respiratory infections and stomach flus from spreading by putting a thorough hand-washing routine in place. If you or your child feels sick, stay home to avoid spreading germs.

MENTAL HEALTH

From pandemic-induced social effects to cyberbullying, things that bother the mind can manifest as physical pains like headaches and stomach issues. Watch out for changes in kids’ behavior, including aggression, anxiety or distress. For help, reach out to a doctor or school counselor.

SPORTS PHYSICALS = WINNING

Sports physicals are important tools for physicians and parents to discover specific issues like nutrition, injuries and fitness. This is also a great way to evaluate how kids feel about their participation in sports.

DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOU!

They say you can’t fill from an empty cup—this especially applies to parents and guardians because you can’t have a healthy child without a healthy parent. Many of the tips listed here are helpful for all ages, so start by making healthy choices a family affair.

HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN EARN COLLEGE CREDIT WITH PATHWAYS PROGRAM

Going into his first year as principal of Glen Oaks Magnet High School last year, Robert Signater was tasked with another opportunity: the Pathways to Bright Futures program.

Glen Oaks was chosen as the pilot for the East Baton Rouge Parish School System’s program which allows students to take advanced-level courses through Baton Rouge Community College with the hopes of eventually earning an associate degree or industry-based credential (IBC) along with their high school diploma. “My initial thought was, ‘Wow, let’s see what this is and what would it do to benefit the students of Glen Oaks,’ says Signater. “Once I learned more about it, I really became excited. I think it’s the best thing that ever could have happened to our campus.”

The school system will be expanding the Pathways program in the 20222023 school year to all incoming ninthgraders throughout the district. “The ability to take advanced level classes, whether AP, dual enrollment, or on a pathway to earn an IBC while in high school is an amazing life changing

opportunity,”explained Academic Supervisor, Suguna Mayweather, who worked hands-on with the pilot cohort of students affectionately referred to as the “1st Class.”

FINDING THE PATH

The five Pathways offered are technology; construction and manufacturing; medical and pre-med; transportation and logistics; and liberal arts and management. “As freshmen, it inspires and gives them hope that they have what it takes to go to college and be successful,” Signater says, “That level of empowerment for students is priceless.”

Each of the Pathways offered was created in partnership with area businesses and industry leaders to fill workforce gaps in high-need, high-wage, and high-growth jobs. “With this program, we are preparing young people not just for graduation from high school, but for a life filled with opportunity. This includes preparing them to be career-ready, or for the next steps in their college career,” Mayweather says.

MEASURED SUCCESS

Historically, Glen Oaks has had a low engagement in dual enrollment and advanced-placement coursework, but the average GPA of the 1st Class was 2.59 (the district average is 2.44). Seventy-one percent of the students who participated in the 1st Class earned dual-enrollment credits. Of those, eight students earned three hours of college credit, 14 earned six hours, 15 earned nine hours and 18 earned at least 12 hours.

Overall, students in the 1st Class demonstrated higher performance in GPA, promotion rate, and LEAP 2025 than students in the previous year’s freshman cohort. This debunks the notion that high stakes testing and other measures are the sole indicators of advanced coursework readiness. It is believed that higher rigor and expectations are attributed to the students’ performance.
