​Homework/Study Tips
​
-
Be sure to check Homelink to stay up to date on your child's progress in each class.
-
If you do not have the login information, contact the main office.​

​
-
Help keep your student organized by regularly cleaning out their backpacks, discarding/filing away old assignments, and/or color coding items.
​
-
Have students practice using iready at home regularly to develop their Math/Reading skills.
​
-
Check to see if your student's teachers have a Google classroom. Not all have a Google classroom, but this is where a lot of information is posted.
​
-
Assign a specific area for studying at home.
-
Eliminate as much distraction as possible by creating a quiet environment for your student to study
-
​
-
​Keep a designated space for backpacks/books/materials
-
This can be especially helpful for children moving between multiple homes​.
-
​
-
Set specific hours for electronic use to minimize their use.
​
-
Provide students with a "completed" or "turn in" folder for work so that students won't misplace that work.
​
-
Help teach your child how to "scaffold" their work.
-
Help them break their work down into smaller steps with multiple "deadlines to avoid leaving any work until the last minute and so assignments don't become overwhelming.
