place for school work

– Limit and monitor electronic use at home
– Communicate with teachers & supervisor
• Teachers & Supervisor– Set guidelines and
clear expectations– Support the unique
developmental needs of each child as they learn and grow during these adolescent years
– Communicate with parents
