Parents who are involved in their child's education contribute significantly to the success of their child and their child's school. Students perform better in school when they receive proper nutrition, are well rested, and are regularly reminded about the importance of education. Schools need and welcome involved parents and community members. As a parent of a secondary student, help your child select courses that will provide the best foundation for success on state tests, and higher education. Selection for the next year's high school courses occurs in early February.
School counselors can assist with questions on course selection.
Be a good role model. Let your child see you reading, writing, doing math, researching information, and working on projects. Limit television and video games. Help your secondary student strike a balance between responsibilities of home, school, and work. A student's job demands should not undermine success in school.
