Help your Student Succeed

Help your Student achieve GOOD GRADES

Show interest. Attend all open houses and parent conferences. Know when each grading period ends and you see all report and progress report cards.

Discuss Classes and set goals. Sit down with your child at the beginning of each grading period and help him/her set realistic academic goals.

Listen. Talk to your child about what’s happening in school and be a good listener.

If your child isn’t doing well in school, find out why.

Be available to help.

Encourage School involvement
