First quarter report cards will be mailed home
during the Fall Intersession (Oct. 1-5). For some students and families, it
will be a time for smiles and congratulations. For others, it may be a time of disappointment and
frustration. How parents react to
a report card is very important to your child.
Tips for Parents:
SIT DOWN with your child and look over the
report card.
PRAISE YOUR CHILD. Find at least one good
thing, e.g. a good grade, good attendance.
BE CALM - Let your child tell you about
his/her grades – the good and the bad.
ASK your child how you can help him/her do
better in school.
ASK your child what he/she can do to earn
better grades.
If improvement is needed, MAKE A PLAN with
your child. Poor grades are often due to frequent absences, missing
assignments, and/or poor quality of work turned in. Address these areas. Come
up with some agreements on afterschool tutorial, study time at home, and
scheduling of non-school activities.
Clearly convey to your child your
EXPECTATIONS for the 2nd quarter and the SUPPORT you will provide.
If you need assistance with developing a plan for 2nd Quarter,
please call your child’s counselor:
