SIX STEPS TO SUCCESS
Get involved with your student’s school activities. Research shows there is a correlation between student involvement in school activities, organizations, and events and their academic success.•PTA•Booster Clubs•Volunteer Programs•Teachers & Staff•Attend an Event
PARENTS: GET INVOLVED
•Review class and school standards with your student and reinforce them at home. •Know where your student is at all times and know their friends.•Homework is a High School expectation. Your Child should have 20-30 minutes of homework per class per night.•Question excuses that just don’t make sense.
PARENTS: BE AWARE
• A “second chance” on tests or other assignments (not guaranteed)
• Make sure make-up work is completed and turned in (do it even if it’s late!)
• Call and email teachers with questions and concerns• Be aware of the add/drop timelines for course placement
(15 days after the start of each semester)• Attend school every day!
– Do not schedule vacations in the middle of the year– No More Than 10! (Just as employees cannot miss more than a
set number of days, students are also held to high standards.)
