TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Communication – website, know your child’s subjects and teachers, Guidance Counsellor! Computer/ Technology time is not always homework time Technology – make it your friend – twitter, Remind, school info app. M odel and teach good digital health Community Involvement – Get it started/ done Schedule Homework Time – structure is important Encourage your child to get involved - Direct correlation between happiness and success. M ental Health – encourage mindfulness, resiliency, time for exercise, the importance of sleep, put the technology to bed (in its own room away from users), check in regularly with your child

SAME QUESTION, DIFFERENT WAYS TO ASK…

Find a different way to ask “ How was school today” : For instance: “ What was your favourite part of your day?” “ Which teacher are you most like?” “ If you could change anything about your day, what would it be and why?” “ Which class are you enjoying the most/ least?” “ What did you learn in _____________ class today?”

WAYS WE CAN HELP

Pathway Planning – Individual Pathway Plan with a focus on WHO the child wants to become (not on the WHAT) M onitor progress of student Discuss issues and support problem solving Connect with academic support Quiet space to collect thoughts Study skills M uch, much more!
