What are some tips to help my child?

1. Provide a supportive environment for completing homework.  Let 
your child
know homework is to be completed and handed in, that you will 
provide the
necessary time, space, and materials for completing homework, and 
that you
will contact the team when there is a problem.

2. Buy your child a brightly colored accordion folder for homework
organization.  Each section in the folder can be for each 
subject. Instruct
your child to put assignment planner and any worksheets in folder 
before
leaving school.  All completed assignments are to be put in 
folder, returned
to school, and brought to each class.

3. Call the school's homework hotline.  Dial 744-2031. At the 
prompt, dial 14,
then 6 for Eagles team.  

4. Look at child's assignment planner and assignments daily.

5. Use this team web page.  Address is: 
http://www.teacherweb.com/ny/pinebush/goldeneagles  

6. Give praise and other positive support when your child 
completes homework
correctly.  Just saying a few words about a job well done will do 
wonders. 
Provide your child with additional incentives, such as rewards 
and privileges
if homework is completed to your satisfaction.

7. Provide consequences such as loss of a privilege if your child 
does not do
homework.  You need to back up your words with action.  Losing a 
privilege
like TV, computer, iPod, or cell phone if homework is not done 
may be needed
to let your child know you mean business.

8. Set up mandatory homework time.  If your child frequently 
forgets to bring
homework, require him or her to read a book or do some other 
academic
activity.  Soon the message will be clear that bringing homework 
home is a
priority.

9. Contact us.  Call individual teachers or call Mrs. Cavanagh to 
set up an
appointment at 744-2031 x5600.  Or e-mail Mrs. Cavanagh at:
acavanagh@pinebushschools.org

Can or should my child be put on weekly reports?

With the engrade.com system, paper weekly reports are no 
longer needed
because you can check your child's grades at any time from any 
computer that
accesses the Internet.  If you do NOT have access to the 
Internet, paper
weekly reports are still an option if it is decided upon by all 
as necessary.
