    MegaSkills In English

    English Session: 10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, 11/7, & 11/14 Final Celebration ------ 6-7:30pm

    Davies is pleased to once again offer our MegaSkills Workshop Program! This free, 6-week course is designed for families to help develop the life skills needed for success in school and beyond.

     

    What are MegaSkills?

     

    Confidence, perseverance, teamwork, motivation, caring, effort, focus, responsibility, common sense, initiative, and problem-solving. We call these eleven areas MegaSkills. Through our free program at Davies, parents can help their child:

    • Do better at school.
    • Strengthen family bonds.
    • Get along better with others by equipping them with these essential life skills.

     

    The MegaSkills program is intended with Davies parents in mind, but this is not the only audience! Bring your child, friend, relatives, or anyone else who has a connection with your student. We have parents who decide to attend solo and parents who decide to have their student attend with them. The choice is yours!

     

    When you take our free MegaSkills program, you can expect:

     

    • Weekly activities and learning strategies to use at home
    • To learn confidence, focus, motivation, and more MegaSkills in a relaxed, supportive environment
    • To receive a “Completion of Program” certificate
    • Refreshments served at each session
    • A chance to win a weekly door prize

     

    Register now for your space in this amazing free program. www.DaviesTech.org/MegaSkills

    Managing Fear and Anxiety in Children 

    During this presentation, we will discuss some important tactics to help children, throughout all age groups, deal with anxiety and fear. Parents will learn that our own fears and anxieties must be handled in order to provide proper support to our children. After completing this training, participants will be able to help their children cope with their anxieties through compassion, structure, and flexibility.   

    Parenting Your Teen: At Risk Behavior

    This session addresses the realities of today: the good news and bad news. We will discuss essential facts of at-risk behavior and give parents the chance to have frank discussions about their fears. Learn what to do, what not to do and what we, as parents, really need to know.  

     

    Session 2: 10:10am-12pm

    Navigating the Teen Years 

    This seminar will touch on very important topics for parents who are, or will soon be, navigating children through their teen years. Participants who attend this seminar will take a critical look at the difference between what is important to them vs. what is important to their teen. During this seminar, you will discuss risky behaviors, how to prevent them and managing conflicts with your teen, as well as the do's and don'ts of parenting a teen. You will leave this seminar with a toolbox of best practices for managing those tricky teen years.  

    Parenting Your Teen: Communicating 

    Feel like you and your teen are speaking different languages? In this seminar, we will discuss how to create a comfortable climate for parent/teen communication, review the basic rules, the do’s, the don'ts and the best practices, so you and your teen can be on the same page.

    Session 1: 8:10am-10am

    Vaping - What Parents Need to Know 

    The use of e-cigarettes and vaping are becoming a crisis. This class will inform parents about the dangers of vaping and how to talk to your children about it.  

    Too Much Gaming 

    Gaming Addiction is a newly named disorder that can affect your life the same as a substance addiction. In this program, we will discuss the difference between playing games and having an addiction to games, and learning how to spot the disorder.

  • What is Davies' Home School Compact?

    As we strive for academic excellence and a high level of literacy for all of our students we realize that an educational institution cannot accomplish this goal alone. When a partnership exists between school, family and student and the goals and responsibilities for each party are clear, student achievement will improve. The following is a compact, which is a voluntary agreement between Davies’ administration and staff and our families and students with the sole purpose of helping all of our students to reach their full academic potential.
     
    Family Responsibilities (Read the full compact here)
    1. Through collaboration, participate with school staff in creating a school vision and quality educational program that is understood and embraced by all.
    2. Communicate to my child the value of an education and provide home support for the educational process.
    3. Establish a study time with my child and provide a quiet, distraction free environment.
    4. Participate in training opportunities with staff to improve teaching and learning.
    5. Communicate regularly with the school.
    6. Respect the school, staff, students and families.
