Tips for Parents: Your Role in School Success

• Help your student by developing a routine or specific time for homework and/or reading where you are available to help or listen if needed. You are vital to their success.
• Ensure your child is at school, on time, every day possible. Arrange for vacations, trips, etc. during days off school.
• Make sure your student is getting adequate sleep at night to support their growing body and mind.
• Be a positive role model in your child’s eyes who shows interest in reading and learning new things.
• Notify the teacher of any concerns or questions you have regarding their learning.                                                                   - www.thelearningcommunity.com
