Introduction

Parents, thank you for taking the time to attend this meeting. Today, we will discuss students who have ADHD tendencies in class, particularly in Grade/Year 3.

Overview of ADHD

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a condition that affects a child's ability to focus, organize, and control their behavior. Students with ADHD may have difficulty paying attention, staying still, and following instructions.

Signs of ADHD in the Classroom

As teachers, we observe these tendencies in the classroom, and we compile information to help identify ADHD. If there are indications that a student may have ADHD, we reach out to their parents to explore the possibility of diagnosis. Here are some of the signs that we observe in students with ADHD tendencies:

• Difficulty staying seated
• Inability to stay focused on a task or conversation
• Interrupting the teacher or classmates during lessons
• Trouble following verbal or written instructions
• Fidgeting, squirming in the seat, or tapping their feet
• Forgetfulness and disorganization
• Difficulty taking turns

Classroom Strategies

We employ various classroom strategies to help students with ADHD tendencies succeed in school, including the following:

• Clear, concise directions that are broken down into smaller steps
• Using visuals such as charts, diagrams, and images to help with comprehension
• Shorter learning periods with more frequent breaks to keep them engaged
• Encouraging students to give feedback and express their thoughts
• Pairing the student up with a buddy that can provide support and guidance
• Incorporating physical activity during the lessons
• Praising the student for their effort, rather than being results-oriented

Support from Parents

Parents, please remember that the school relies on your support in managing your child's ADHD tendencies. Here are some things you can do to help:

• Keep in touch with teachers and let us know if there are any significant changes at home
• Help your child adhere to the daily routine and provide a peaceful studying environment
• Support your child's routines and them to stay organized
• Allow them to burn off energy - exercise and sports can have a calming effect

Thank you for attending this meeting. It is our goal to work together to help your child succeed despite ADHD tendencies. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
