What is the purpose of this page?

This page is here because I want parents to have a strategy to 
prevent bad 
grades, or to help parents and students if it is well into the 
grading 
period. Parents, I want you to know that there is something you 
can do to 
monitor your child's work and grades to make sure they have a 
successful 
year.

What can I do to help prevent my child from failing?

If your child is failing, or if you want to prevent them from 
failing, the 
best startegy is to keep up with what is happening on a daily 
basis and to 
keep your child responsible for his/her actions. I know, easier 
said than 
done. Here is what can be done to help.

1. Have the student write down in their planner the daily agenda.
2. With the student, have them show you their spiral notebook of 
classwork 
and see what is missing so it can be made up in time for the 
notebook check.
3. Once the notebook is up to date sit down with the student and 
their 
notebook every night and have them show you what they did that 
day.
4. Find out when the next test is so they can begin studying. The 
students 
can make notecards with questions and answers each night, so when 
test time 
comes you will be prepared.
