| PROMOTING YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION |
|
What you can do to help your child succeed in school.
|
|
Get to know your child's teacher. Maintain regular contact and discuss any relevant progress, problems, or issues.
Take some time to meet other faculty and support staff at your child's school. Introduce yourself to the counselor, vice-principle, custodian, gym teacher, music teacher, receptionist, bus driver, etc. |
Learn the school and classroom rules that your child is expected to follow each day and do your part to help him or her follow them.
Be aware of what your child is taking to and from school. Question items that do not seem appropriate. If your child is coming home with items that do not belong to him or her then find out who they belong to and why your child has them.
Find time to ask your child what he or she is studying in school. Ask how his or her day was each day.
Find ways to help your child stay organized and focused.
Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep each night and eats a healthy breakfast each morning before going to school.
Monitor your child’s activities after school ends. Do you know where he or she is going? Do you know who he or she is with? Do you know what he or she is doing?

|
HELP your child with homework if necessary, but don't DO your child's homework.
Allow your child to take short breaks while doing his or her homework.
Designate a quiet and "distraction-free" area for your child to do homework.
Use your refrigerator to display quality work and/or art projects done by your child.
