SCREEN TIME
There is also some evidence that children who watch a lot of television during the early elementary school years perform less well on reading tests and may show deficits in attention.”
— Dr. Jennifer Cross
We should also be careful of relying on using screens to distract a child from a problem rather than having them figure it out and learn to resolve it themselves. Using a favorite song to distract a young child who has just fallen and scraped their knee might be OK, but having the parent comfort and cuddle with the child and talk to them is better. Using screen time to distract young children who are having trouble sharing a toy will not help them learn how to share and take turns in the future, although it may be a quick fix in the short term.

a college going culture
At San Juan Diego Academy, we believe in the potential of every child and instill in each of our students the belief that they can succeed academically. The majority of our students live in neighborhoods where over nearly half of young people fail to graduate from high school, and where few go to college. Every aspect of our school program, from the high-quality curriculum and dedicated staff to our extended school day, summer school program, and extracurricular activities, all work together to ensure that students are prepared to succeed at San Juan Diego Academy and beyond. Each morning, students and staff gather in the gym before going to class and at the end of this morning's assembly, our student body recites the ¡Sí, Se Puede pledge: “I will succeed in school. I will graduate from San Juan Diego Academy, and I will go to college. ¡Sí, Se Puede! (Yes We Can!)"
