When it comes to working hard in school and earning good grades, your middle schooler holds the responsibility. Parents can boost their children’s learning by getting involved in their education.
Studies show that parent participation often declines once students move on to middle school. Your child and school still need your support. Here is how you can help:
We leverage the Infinite Campus Parent and Student portals to provide real-time information about academic performance, attendance, schedule, contact information and more. You can install the Campus Parent app to your personal phone or device from both the Apple and Google Play stores, and the Campus Student app is available on all school-issued devices. Please visit the District’s website for additional information.
Contact your child’s teacher and school counselor by telephone or email. To email any district employee type: first initial, last name@sewanhakaschools.org. Example: jdoe@sewanhakaschools.org Note: Some teachers have homework posted on the department or teacher website.
Attend evening grade-level parent meetings.
Attend your child’s athletic events and/or extracurricular activities.
Join the PTSA/SEPTA and attend their meetings.
Let your child know that you are interested in what they do daily. Post the school calendar on your refrigerator; it is your guide to all school events.
Check their homework and help them with projects and reports that are due. Quiz them before they take a test.
