Youth Sports Schedules Alerts Keep Parents In The Know
You rush to get your children to their football game only to find out that it's been canceled. Why weren't you notified in advance?
When sports and recreation directors make last-minute schedule changes, such as canceling a game due to inclement weather or having to change practice times, they may have to inform several people at the same time. But with limited time to spread the word to players, parents, coaches and officials, some people may miss out.
Fortunately, this doesn't have to be the case. From elementary school to college, many schools and sports and recreation organizations are adopting an innovative new communication system called the Immediate Response Information System, or IRIS.
Developed by TechRadium Inc., IRIS is a high-speed notification and response service that electronically sends routine, priority and emergency messages to unlimited contacts within seconds.
A designated person sends uniform messages with just a click of a mouse or by calling an IRIS adviser. The system then transmits voice and text alerts to all recipient groups through various forms of electronic devices, including home and cell phones; pagers; fax machines; PDA devices; and e-mail accounts.
Besides sending messages about unforeseen events, the system also sends information such as statistics and rankings, picture day reminders and playoff schedules.
IRIS requires no hardware, software or system installation, making it an affordable communication system. Also, IRIS messages can be delivered in up to 10 languages as specified by each recipient.
BONUS : 3 Key Challenges To Reduce Homework Time And Stress - What Parents Can Do
Parents have asked us why homework takes their child 2, 3 and even 4 times longer than their peers and what they can do about it. This article defines the 3 key issues and what parents can do about it. Students key issues often include:
1- Attention is a major problem, both in class and while doing homework
2- They often have one or more vision issues too often these students eyes are either: not working together; skipping words or lines when reading; or they have difficulty copying off the board
3- They become tense when doing homework and often lose it
When a student has trouble paying attention in class, they often must be re-taught the information at home. What makes matters worse is that the students homework time which should have taken 45 minutes gets stretched to 1 and ½ hours due to re-teaching, and then to over 2 hours because they cannot stay focused.
Vision issues impact their homework in several ways:
1- They have trouble copying the notes off the board correctly and you spend time trying to understand the assignment
2- They skip words or lines when reading, further complicating life
3- When they do math problems they do not often align their work correctly, they miss minus and division signs so they make careless errors
Students often get tense when doing homework and battles often follow. What often happens is:
- Students are too intimidated to ask questions in class and they simply get stuck
- The student or parent gets angry and then
- An argument starts which often escalates into a battle royale
What we recommend is that parents:
- Stay clam when doing homework with your child
- If your child gets stressed, give them a 1 or 3 minute break
- Hydrate them before doing homework and while doing homework
- When reading, use an index card or their finger to keep them on the right line
- If the attention is a significant issue, consider getting an ADHD diagnosis if they have a learning disability or attention issues significantly impact their academic performance, the student could qualify for an Individualized Education Plan and they could get accommodations for homework which might include:
o Getting copies of notes either provided by the teacher or by another student
o Seating by the teacher to improve attention
o Having the teacher check to make sure the student has written the assignment correctly
o Having you sign that they completed the assignment and putting it in a place they can find it
o An early warning system, where the teacher alerts you to issues early on
- If vision is a major issue see an optometrist even if your child has 20/20 vision
