○ ACT composite minimum of 20, with various minimums on
subtestsSo, how does my
child succeed in high

Part of our (parents, teachers, administrators) role during the freshman
year is to get students to realize that school/grades really do matter.
● More challenging academic environment
● More distractions
○ athletics and extracurricular activities, social media, dances
and social activities, driving, less parental supervision and
more trust, and the “dreaded” girlfriend or boyfriend.Don’t end your involvement...CHANGE IT ● Help your child establish routines, good habits ○ Time management ● Encourage students to get involved in extracurriculars ○ Express gifts/talents ● Acknowledge commitment and improvement ○ Not just “good grades” ● Allow the child to make mistakes ○ Build persistence ● Encourage students to handle challenges on their own ○ Ask “thoughtful questions”
Homework... ● It is important ○ Serves as practice ○ Opportunity for points ○ Could be the difference in a letter grade ● Homework should be completed by the beginning of class. ● Good place to begin reviewing for a test ○ especially when the child says, “I don’t have any HW”
Studying for tests... ● Study early...the student should be studying and/or reading notes nightly ● Use Notecards ● Quizlet, use technology to help organize notes
Ownership
Our teachers are all caring professionals. They love
our students. However, we want students to learn
about accountability and responsibility.
Forgot your homework?
Forgot to study?
Forgot to turn in your paper or project?
Broke a school or classroom rule?
Ownership is on the student, not the teacher. There
will be a consequence, just as there will be in adult
life.So, what does all that mean?
To help answer that …
