Academic Support
 
Elementary Academic Success
Maintain an organized binder & backpack (this includes minimizing the number of items they bring to school)
  • Try to prepare their backpack / clothes / lunch the night before
 
Start homework within 30 minutes of arriving home
  • Monitor your child while they complete homework and have a designated spot for homework completion
 
Focus on one item at a time; multitasking has been proven to be less effective than doing 1 task at a time
  • Try to minimize distractions while doing homework (put away phone, turn off TV & videogames)
 
Make sure your child arrives on time with their materials needed to be successful in class and ready to learn
  • Attendance is extremely important for the success of your student

Middle School Academic Success

Check your Student's Canvas on a weekly basis
  • You can sign up as an observer to view your child’s canvas account.  
 
Help your Student reach out to their Teachers or School Counselor about missing assignments
  • This could be through Canvas email or asking to schedule time to meet during SOAR
 
Ask your Student to show your their plan for SOAR on Enriching Students
 Students are responsible for making their selections by Thursday at 2:40pm 
 
 
Use Paper Tutoring
  • Free 24/7 tutoring is available to your child through their Clever account.
