TIPS FOR ALL STUDENTS

Read a book! Any book! Fiction, nonfiction, biography, memoir, graphic novel, comic book. Read magazines (print or online). Read news articles. You are always welcome to borrow books from Ms. Clifton's classroom. Reading helps your comprehension, writing skills, vocabulary, memory, empathy, and health!
Visit a Writing Lab teacher during a study hall or your lunch period for one-on-one help with writing assignments for any class or college application essays. Bring a copy of the assignment, a draft, and what specific aspects of your draft you'd like the teacher to examine (these can all be digital). The writing lab schedule is posted in your English teacher's classroom.

TIPS FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS

Opt in to receive daily or weekly emails from Google Classroom about assignments your student missed, assignments due soon, and class announcements/homework. Email Ms. Clifton if you'd like to be added to this.
Read the Little RHAMbler newsletter that is emailed by the principal every Friday. This newsletter features important announcements about clubs, field trips, counseling, and classes.
Let your children see you reading - books, newspapers, magazines, articles.
Encourage your kids to be problem solvers. Teach them it's okay to fail and make mistakes, because that's one of the best ways to learn.
Instill in your kids the value of education. RHAM's students have many resources and opportunities.
