Dear "Family",
How can we help your son/daughter succeed in school?
What can we do to help him/her succeed on high stakes tests?
Work together!
Research shows that students whose parents continue to be involved in their education in high school are more likely to
- Earn higher grades
- Earn higher test scores
- Pass their classes, earn credit and meet graduation requirements on-time.
- Attend school regularly.
- Complete homework.
- Graduate and go on to further their education.
These results occur regardless of a parent's educational level, socioeconomic status or native language spoken in the home. [More often than not, these are also the same parents that attend every school event (such as Open House) and usually, their children are not the ones who need the most help.]
As a parent, I understand that many of you may have long working hours, multiple jobs, and are exhausted--But, the stakes are very high.
If we want to help your child succeed, we need to be available, creative, and understanding ---We need to adapt to their demanding and rigorous academic schedule and find ways to help them be MORE EFFICIENT with their time.
