Those lazy (or crazy) summer days are gone and everyone is getting back in the swing of things for the new school year. I know for the teachers and staff it is exciting to have the campus abuzz with activity. As we begin a new year, I wanted to give you a few ideas on how you can help your student succeed. Here are a few basic reminders:
Attendance-regular attendance in class is extremely important to your student's success. If your student will be out of school for several days, contact the school to arrange for homework assignments to be collected for your student.
Talk with your student about his or her school day. Help him or her see that school is a priority and help him or her develop goals for the school year.
Provide adequate time and a place for your student to study. Monitor your student's progress through Edline. If you do not have an account set up yet, please contact the school office.
Get to know your student's teachers. They are here to help your student be successful. Don't hesitate to contact the counselor if you have a question or concern.
Become involved in your student's school life. There are parent organizations and booster groups that provide opportunities for parent involvement at the school. Consider volunteering in the class room, or around the school (you can pick up a volunteer packet in the office). Support your student's activities.
As I said, we are very excited for the new year, and can’t wait to see what God is going to do in and through the school this year! Have a great year!
