Transcription: 
Your child's school really wants to help and support your child. If you are in a military family, it is really important that you let your teacher or principal or school counselor know that your child is a part of a military family. This can help them when they need a little bit of extra support. For example, during a deployment, a child may be a little more anxious than typical. What can happen in the classroom is they can start shutting down or maybe even start acting up a little. If teachers, if they don't know that your child is going through a deployment, they may mistakenly label that as ADHD or just assume that this child doesn't care or just a problem child. When you tell your teacher about your military status, it will help them to be better able to help your child.
