What Can Parents Do?
Parents can show active concern and
involvement with students’ academic lives.
¨ Help with scheduling classes.
¨ Discuss the long term results associated with doing well in class.
¨ Attend any and all open house events.
¨ Make an effort to know teachers and
administrators.
¨ Communicate with your child about:
Classes, Peers, School, Teachers, etc.
¨ Be sensitive to the issues that your child feels are important , even if they seem trivial.
¨ Keep the lines of communication open between teachers, administrators, ex-spouses and most importantly, your student.
Finally, don’t be afraid to seek help. Transitions can be stressful on students and their families. Find the solutions that work for you and your family.
