Parent Tips to Help Your Child Succeed
- Set aside time to listen as your child tells you about each of his teachers and classes.
- Does your child forget to bring home books? Have him post a take-home checklist inside his locker.
- At the dinner table, have each family member share something they’re thankful for.
- Keeping track of assignments is very important in middle school. Ask to see your child’s agenda.
