Helpful Tips

How can I help my middle school child improve in school?
Each student needs to establish a Study Habits agenda (on paper or iPad) in which to write all homework assignments. Ask your child if he/she is writing down all assignments in the study habits, and if not, encourage your child to do so.
If your aren’t sure whether your child has homework, check the teacher Web sites Study Habits or Calendar Tab. Parents may also subscribe to each teacher’s Google Calendar.
If your child is earning low homework grades, ask to see their homework rather than simply asking if it is finished. Check over it with your child for completion as well as quality.

Encourage your child to attend tutoring. Each student has a Science tutoring pass in their journal with my tutoring times. Students may also set up tutoring with me by appointment.
Sign up for Family Access so you can check your child’s grades on Skyward. Grades are updated weekly throughout the grading period.
Encourage your child to meet with his/her teachers to develop a plan for improvement. All teachers are happy to work with the students to help them succeed.
When further support is needed at home, use the opportunity to engage in a positive dialog with your child about ways to solve the problem. A student is far more likely to follow an improvement plan if he/she is involved in the solution process.
I am always willing to meet with parents and request to include the student as they are a major part in creating a plan. My goal is to help the student (and parents) develop a plan for success. The planning is rarely successful without the input and collaboration of the student as this gives them a vested interest in their own progress.
I greatly look forward to working with your child this year.
