Parent Suggestions for Student Success
Please stay involved in your student's
education. Your involvement, shows that their academic progress is important
to all of us.
As the year progresses, class instruction incorporates material
that is more challenging to students. The contrast between low comfort levels and a more challenging curriculum often results
in dropped effort and grades.
Encourage students to check their grades often.
Each teacher has grades posted on e-school.
Make sure your child has a quiet place free
from distractions to study and to complete homework.
Check to see that your child's assignment notebook is being filled out
correctly, including daily homework and upcoming tests, quizzes, and
projects.
Check that your child's work is complete, follows directions, and is neat.
Have them use rubrics and grade sheets provided by teachers to check that
their work earns the best possible grade.
Help your child with organization and study strategies and be sure that they are prepared for
quizzes and tests.
Talk to your child about what they are learning in class and how they are
progressing.
Communicate with teachers to follow-up on your child's progress.
If your child is part of extra-curricular activities, such as sports teams
or clubs, or if they are in band, orchestra, or chorus, help them to manage
their commitments to these activities with their class responsibilities.
