  13. HOMEWORK ~Homework should be done on a daily basis, however, it may not always be a written assignment. If there is not a written assignment for a class, then the homework would be to review what was done in class. ~One way to review is to have your child teach you the material. ~Students should expect about an hour of homework each night. ~Students should be reading a minimum of 2 hours a week.

  15. STUDY SKILLS ~Most students struggle with organizational skills, so they will need your help with this. ~Plan ahead for tests & projects. ~Check your student’s agendas to make sure they’re writing down assignments. ~Make students check teacher websites. ~Flashcards, re-writing notes, videos, online textbooks are all great ways to study.

  17. ATTENDANCE ~If students need to be absent or checked out, they need a hand-written note to turn in to the front office. ~When students are absent, they may have missed group work, class activities or direct instruction.
