For parents
- Before it gets lost, make copies of your child's schedule, complete with subjects, teachers' names, and room numbers. Keep a copy handy at home and at work.
- Record your child's locker number and combination. This is helpful if your child is ill and you need to pick up books and materials from their locker.
- Provide assistance and support to your teenager in setting up study times and organizing outside activities. Students benefit from your encouragement and your interest as they try to juggle all the events in a new school year.
- Attend the school's Open House Night, Monday, Sept. 14th. Once students enter high school, many parents are less inclined to participate in school sponsored evenings. Yet, it's very helpful to meet the teachers and listen to the course descriptions and expectations.
