Hello parents!

Here are some ways to stay involved with your student's education, to ensure that they are performing their absolute best!

1. Get to know the teachers!
• Creating a relationship with your student’s teacher can help create a positive, comfortable environment to ask for help when needed
• In the end, they want to see your student succeed, so it’s in your best interest to have them on your side!
• A little communication can go a long way!  Never hestiate to reach out to your student's teachers.  Find your student's teacher contact information here: Link to RSD staff directory
2. Be a motivator and a monitor
• Stay on top of your students due dates and upcoming exams Tyler SIS
• This will allow you to keep your student accountable to their studies.
• Sometimes, they need an extra nudge to be put on the right path
3. Make sure the students do their own work!
• School is not about copying down the right answer — the process is infinitely more important
• Make sure your students are honest in their work, and hold them to the highest standard
• Not only is this good, ethical practice, but it’s a great life skill that will carry them the furthest in life
4. Set a good example
• Being responsive and passionate about your own academic goals is a great way to motivate your student
• If they see that you’re committed, they will naturally follow your lead
• Learning loves company!
5. Always show compassion and love
• As you know, schooling is not easy. We stumble and fall, often.
• Constantly check in on your student, and make sure they are getting the support and help they need.
• Remind them that their health is most important
