Helping your Child Be Successful

 

Any child can be successful in English 9 and English 10.  Students simply need to stay organized, be responsible, and pay attention.  Many freshman find the transition from middle school to high school very difficult.  Obviously the expectations are very different.  If you, parents and guardians, would like to help your child be successful, there are a few things you can do to help. 

 

Check the vocabulary list on the website on a weekly basis

 

 

 

Check your child's agenda on a daily basis. Even though I don't give much homework, there may be times when an assignment is due the next day. 

 

 

Check your child's three ring binder to stay updated on recent assignments and notes. 

 

Talk to your child about what he or she is doing and learning in school. 

 

Ask your child about recent progress reports that have been sent home.  I try to send these home every couple of weeks.

 

 

Be sure to compliment your child.  Even if your child is not performing well, he or she needs to know that you are proud of him or her.  :)
