My student is not doing well in school. What can they do?
Students are often not successful due to multiple Missing Assignments. Parents can help students be
more accountable for their grades by spending time with them each night to go over their homework for each class and check the student's Learning Log. If a student is struggling with a class, they should first see their teachers. Teachers are available before school, after school, lunch and/or nutrition. I suggest that the student ask the teacher when a good time would be to see them for extra help. If further help is needed, please contact Miss Patel to schedule an appointment.
Do you have any referrals for Outside Counseling?
