HELPING MY STUDENT AT HOME
Planners - Students are expected to use their planners for communication and organization daily. Time is given to fill them out each day. Homework and other important information will be recorded in the planners. It is expected that parents/guardians will check and sign the child's planner on a DAILY basis. It is the student's responsibility to fill out the homework assignments correctly and bring it home for families to see.
If you have any questions, the best way to contact me is through email.
1. Ask specific questions.
a. Name 3 things you learned in school today.
b. What did you like best?
c. What were your successes? How can we support you?
2. Check the daily planner and sign it every night.
a. Have your child explain the assignments.
b. Review the homework assignment. It’s okay to tell them if something is wrong and they ‘fix’ it, but he/she needs to understand it.
3. Keep in contact with me. If you have a question or concern, don’t hesitate to contact me. It’s best to e-mail.
4. Make reading important in your home. Have your child read at least 30-40 minutes every night in his/her reading range. You may read to your child or your child may read to you or a sibling.
5. Please return signed progress reports when a signature line has been provided. If there is no signature line, you may keep the progress report for your own records.
