We want to thank you for your participation in the Parent Teacher Conferences this week. Your commitment to your child’s or children’s academic achievement is critical. When parents actively participate in these conferences, it reinforces the importance of education and accountability for their child’s learning. Children are more likely to take their studies seriously when they see their parents engaged with their teachers, which can boost their motivation and commitment to schoolwork.
Proverbs 16:3 reads, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” This verse encourages children to dedicate their schoolwork to God and trust Him with their plans. When they commit their studies, goals, and efforts to God, they can trust that He will guide them towards success. This means praying before exams, asking for clarity in understanding lessons, and asking God to help them manage their time effectively. By trusting God with their work, they invite His guidance, and He will help them stay focused and successful in their school endeavors
