As we begin a
new school year let’s work together to give our children the best
opportunity to succeed. Children have a better chance at succeeding
in school when families get involved. Your attitude toward learning
will affect how well your kids do in school. If you show that you
care how well they do, your children will try harder.
Family Tips To Get Involved:
1. Attend Back-To School Night
- Ask each teacher how
much homework should be expected on a nightly basis and how long
should a typical assignment take.
- Find out if there are
any projects that will be due throughout the year.
- Ask about the grading
policy.
- Ask how often the
teacher informs students of their grade.
- If you have any
concerns, find out when the teacher is available for a conference.
- Let the teacher know you
would like to hear immediately if your child is not being
cooperative or not completing homework in a timely manner
2. Set
expectations of your child – Set them up for success.
- Require a minimum of a
2.0 GPA.
- Require your child to
use their Planner and monitor homework. Look over completed
assignments.
- Set a fixed time and a
quiet place for homework.
- Nightly homework (1 to 2
hours)–No Homework: READ.
- Attend Intervention
after school.
- Attitude is important.
3.
Attend parent conferences.
4. Keep close track of a child’s progress in
school.
5. Show enthusiasm for learning.
6. Know who your child’s friends are.
