My child is not doing well in school. What should I do?

The first step is to speak to your child to find out why they are 
not doing 
well. Then make arrangements for conference(s) with their teacher
(s). You 
can schedule for a conference by contacting the Counselling 
Office.

What help is available for my child?

Begin by asking their teacher to find out what they think may be 
the 
problem. There is afterschool tutoring available on selected 
days.  You may 
contact the office to find out where and when your child may go 
for 
tutoring.

How can I monitor my child's progress more frequently?

There are progress report forms available in the Counselling 
office.  This 
form may be filled out by their teachers on a daily, weekly or 
monthly 
basis. This will allow parents to find out how they are doing 
prior to the 
quarterly progress reports.
