W h a t ' s   A  P a r e n t  T o  Do. . .
  1. Does your child say, "Nothin'." to the famous question, "What happened in school today?"  He or She is fibbing.  Check the calendar to the right. Communicate with your teachers by email often.    How often can be determined by how much attention your child's performance mandates.  Locate a Teacher's Email Address.
  2. Never assume "No News Is Good News!"
  3. Gaining knowledge is the #1 priority but must be balanced with friends, fun, and other activities.  Many students sit on the downside of the teeter-totter with the learning side way up in the air--not enough balance toward what is 1st priority.
  4. Think back to how involved you were in elementary school with your child's learning.  How does that compare to now?
  5. Never assume your child makes up his or her work when absent.
  6. Access your child's grades through Union's Parent Online.

Responsibility to follow through with studies and accountability for one's actions seems to be a large portion of the learning in my class.  Students fail my class each semester needlessly.  They don't fail due to low grades; on the contrary, they fail due to work not being turned in at all.  When this happens, as it likely will, there are steps to rectify the situation.
