HOW TO HELP MAKE HIGH SCHOOL EASIER FOR YOUR STUDENT…

• Do class work and homework• Studying is homework• Know the HS graduation and

college requirements• Ask questions – attend

tutoring• Weekly grade checks on

School Loop - no surprises!• Get Involved

• Truancy and tardies are by far the largest reason why students do not succeed. In fact, it is often why they fail classes and get behind in credits.

These credits must be made-up. If they are not in class, how will they learn the

material?

ATTENDANCE IS CRITICAL

• Students often claim that they have NO homework. Remember, even though no specific assignment has been assigned, there is always homework… It’s called “Studying.”

• We strongly recommend that students spend a minimum of 30 minutes of homework/study time (5 days per week) on EACH of their major subjects.

HINTS TO HELP YOUR STUDENT STUDY BETTER

• If there is a problem with grades, behavior, homework/assignments, please contact the teacher first. They see the student daily and have first-hand knowledge of the student’s success in the classroom.

• ALHS (909) 989-5511– Ask for teacher’s voicemail
