  15. Not all courses at MSHS are approved by NCAA • Track the NCAA website for changing regulations http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/ncaa/eligibility/index.html • Your 9th or 10th grader may not show skills, yet! NCAA Athletic Eligibility

  16. Talk to your student about what we recognize! • Special Senior, Local and National Scholarships, Department Student of Year, Student of Quarter, Honor Roll, National Honors Society. • Math is challenging-Utilize free math tutoring, expect work daily, support math teachers! Those that struggle, are often not doing HW. • Listen to your student’s friends talk; help them identify their career interest, plug into our school career guidance center. • Keep Up! New communication tools, Twitter, Facebook • Sign up for E News on website • Want your house prices to increase? Share what you heard tonight! Promote the positive. • Report the rumors and request the facts from the Principal. • Back up teachers-Take what you hear about us with a grain of salt, we’ll do the same about what your son or daughter says about you  • Avoid conversations in email. If conflict, request face to face. Smile! Ways you can help!
