Parent Involvement Tips

1. Check your child's homework notebook and school agenda on a regular basis. Check to make sure homework is being completed. Look for test and quizzes and mark these on your calendar at home. Remind your child (on a daily basis) to begin studying for these tests and quizzes as soon as possible.

2. Make sure your child has all the school supplies he/she needs. Ask frequently if he/she needs additional notebook paper, pencils, pens, etc.

3. Help your child study for test by calling out information to him/her, or by helping them create their own mini quizzes.

4. If necessary, you could try setting up a reward system for good grades or 100% homework completion.

5. Have your child show you their grades. Grades can be accessed through your child's wake ID Portal (click on homebase box and enter student id number).

6. Sign up for Powerschool parent access to view grades for your child (in the DRMS main office).

7. Don't hesitate to contact one of us if you have a question or concern. You can email DRMS ELA teachers, call Durant Road Middle School (919-870-4098) and leave a message for us to call you, or you can send a note to us at school with your child.

Thank you for all your help!
