Title 1 Planning Meeting
Family Engagement Weekly Tip
Share the facts about drug and alcohol risks
Did you know that kids who begin drinking before age 15 are six times more likely to develop alcohol dependence during their lifetimes than those who start after age 21? Or that the most commonly abused drugs among teens are alcohol, marijuana and prescription medicines? Luckily, it's also true that kids who learn about the risks of drugs and alcohol from their families are 50 percent less likely to abuse them.
Build the confidence that motivates
Some students are willing to try hard, even if the work is tough. Others give up before they get started. What's the difference? Teens who believe in their ability to succeed stick with it. Express confidence that your teen has what it takes to overcome obstacles and do excellent work. Then, remind your student that it takes ability AND effort to get the job done.
Credit Recovery Opportunities for Spring Semester
- The purpose of credit recovery is to provide high school students with an opportunity to recover credit for selected courses previously attempted and failed with a grade between a 50 – 69 %.
- The course is designed for students to complete with limited or NO assistance from a local school monitor or teacher.
- Students must attend in person after school from 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm on the designated days for the session.
- If they finish before the session ends, then they do not have to stay after school.
- Students may work on their course anytime. This means they can work on it at home, before school, during lunch, or anytime it is convenient.
- Again, they must report to the assigned room the week they have signed up for, until it is completed.
