  6. HOMEWORK COMPLETION • Check student’s planner daily • Have a designated place & time at home • Return to school with student if they do not bring materials home • Offer help if student is frustrated • Check finished homework daily • Check grades online once per week with student

  8. ATTENDANCE IS KEY!!!!!Poor attendance and missed work from absences is a big reason students fail • We do not excuse absences. • If a student is going to be out for 3 days or more put in for a homework request with the Counseling Office. • Doctors notes are required if they need to be excused from a class like gym. •  Monitor a student’s attendance online.   • Automated phone calls are made daily for any student missing a class.   Only allow students to miss school if they are legitimately ill

  9. TOP PARENT STRATEGIES • Have a firm curfew for school nights and weekends • Provide responsibility for the student to contribute to the family • Attempt to maintain a schedule on the weekends • Encourage quiet time – calming activities- before bed • Have a consistent “lights out” bedtime

  10. MORE STRATEGIES • Insist on breakfast in the morning • Encourage school and family activities • Tie privileges to school performance • Be consistent, consistent, consistent • Keep the lines of communication open- LISTEN more talk less. • Enjoy the young adult your student is becoming

  11. TOP STUDENT STRATEGIES • Be sure you understand each assignment before you leave class • Take good notes during class • Obtain the names and phone numbers of three students in each class • Know your learning style – visual, auditory, kinesthetic – and adjust how you study ????? • For daily homework – work on your least favorite subject first

  12. MORE STUDENT STRATEGIES • For test preparation – look over your notes, rewrite your notes, or write out the answers to a study guide • For long term assignments – divide the work into smaller parts to be completed daily • Take short breaks while studying • Build in “self-rewards” for homework completion • Being prepared yields confidence and good outcomes!!!

  13.
