1. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Check in with your student about how they are doing. Ask specific questions. For example, instead of asking “How was school today?” ask “Have you finished your English paper?”  Talk with your student’s teachers to help stay up to date on their progress.  At RPA you have the ability to call, email, text or meet with your student’s teachers. Their contact information is located on the RPA Homepage under 'Parent Tools' or click here Staff Contact.

2. Encourage students to advocate for themselves. Part of college preparedness at RPA is encouraging students to learn how to ask for help and clarification. Teachers will work in partnership with your student, but students are encouraged to communicate clearly with teachers about their needs.

3. Monitor their attendance and study time to help them stay engaged. Consistent attendance is essential for academic success. You can check their attendance by logging into Alma.  Make sure that your student sets aside time each evening to review material from that day and complete any course work.

4. Focus on the positive. Giving students praise is much more rewarding than criticizing. Give yourself a goal each day of giving specific, positive feedback to your student. Remember that praising their process and their hard work is more effective than praising them for being smart.

5. Keep your student busy. Students that have a schedule of positive extracurricular activities (sports, dance, volunteering, etc.) are more academically successful. Help them find activities or volunteer positions that keep them engaged in the world around them.
