Academic Support

Direct Student Support:

• Den Time - Time to ask questions and get assistance from teachers.

• Meet with Teacher Individually – Ask a teacher during the school day if you can meet with them after school (you may need to schedule this in advance).

• Email Teachers 

• Network with Friends – Exchange phone numbers with two other students in class. Call them if you are not sure of your assignment or need help.

 Tracking Assignments and Assessments:

• Planner - We recommend each student utilizes a planner to keep track of assignments and assessments

• Teacher Website - Check individual teacher websites for information on upcoming assignments and assessments

• PowerSchool - Grades and attendance can be checked through this link

Parent Look:

If your child is communicating to you that they are completing their work at school, but their grades say otherwise, it is usually because homework is not being done, or being done poorly. 

We encourage you to use what many parents have found to be a very successful tactic: Require your child to bring home their work each evening and SHOW you what they have accomplished. Require this even for work they claim they are finishing at school. 

Looking over your student’s work for 5–10 minutes each evening, will let you know if they are getting it done and understanding what they are doing. Your in-depth interest in their work will inspire them to do even better!
