To help you prepare, here are some tips to help ensure your child has a successful school year. Don’t be a stranger at school. It’s very important for parents and guardians to show an interest in their child’s schooling by attending events such as back-to-school night, open house, and other events which will allow parents to come into contact with teachers. This is a great way to find out what your child is studying in class and hold them accountable for their homework or assignments. Keep the lines of communication open. Parent should ask their children specific questions about their school day (i.e. What did you learn in math today? Or what did you play at recess today?) The objective is to find out what projects they are working on so you can assist. Keeping the lines of communication open with teachers and to look for updates and notes sent home from school is highly encouraged. This will help you identify problems that your child my be having and give you an avenue to seek resources, tutors, or other assistance. End homework struggles. Having a routine works best when it comes to children completing homework. Try ensuring that your child complete their homework immediately after school. Supervise your child’s homework without doing it for them will also ensure that your child completes his homework and will also identify problem areas. When parents sit down with children and complete homework together, it teaches children good study habits. Some parents like using reward charts and offering prizes for completing and turning in all of the assignments in a given week or month. Become involved. Consider giving your child’s classroom the gift of time, those much needed school supplies, or join the school’s Parent Teacher Association. Ask your child’s teacher if they need help with any project or field trip. If you have a demanding work schedule, ask if there are any items that you can donate to the classroom or if there are volunteer projects that you can do at home that could help your child’s class.
