TOOLS FOR SUCCESS:

• Communicate! Talk to one another daily about your day,

homework, and friends.

• Be Proactive with Homework! Set up a quiet environment and

consistent time to do homework and study. Check IC routinely with your child

• Use a Daily Planner! Write all daily assignments, quizzes and

assessments in the planner. Check off for completion.

• Be Organized! A sturdy zipper binder is a great tool to keep your

daily work organized. Clean your locker out regularly. Keep unneeded papers filed at home in a crate.
