WHAT CAN PARENTS DO?

 Make sure your child is in school and on time.  Be involved! Ask questions! Stay connected! Kids often begin to pull away during middle

school.

This is when they need you the most, just in a

different way. Mistakes are ok!!

 Check your child’s planner every night or Google

Classroom and teacher/team pages

 When in doubt, contact the teacher
