• Ways Parents Can Help Students Succeed!!    
           
            * Ensure that your child gets proper rest!  Teens are growing and still require at least 8 hours of sleep every night. 
          * Set regular bedtime hours and stick to them. 
           * Turn off all electronics half an hour before bed (keep them out of sleeping areas) 
            * Encourage your child to read before falling asleep.

    • Make sure your child eats breakfast.  You wouldn't go on a road trip with your gas tank on empty, would you?  Don't send children to school hungry, their brain will not be ready to learn. 
    • Stay connected. Show up at open house and parent/teacher conferences.  Both you and the teacher have your child's best interest at heart. We are their cheerleaders! 
    • Never stop being involved in what is going on in your child's life.  
    • Keep the lines of communication open with your teenager. Ask,  "Is there is anything I can do to help you?"  
    • Be a great listener. Remember:  "When EF Hutton speaks, people listen."
    • You are your child's first teacher.  Be a great example for them.  
    • Never stop reading with and to your child (no matter their age). This is a great time to re-visit some books from your youth, but with a different perspective.
