  4. CHECK I.C. • All assignments, grades, and schedulesare available for parent & student viewing • Updated minimum every 5 weeks • Weekly checks recommended https://ic.dist113.org/campus/portal/township.jsp

  5. ANTICIPATE FAILURE. • Few freshmen enter with necessary skills • We can only teach & model; they must DO • Natural consequences can often be an effective motivator • Freshman classes are structured so that setbacks are temporary and survivable “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Sir Winston Churchill

  6. What if my child is struggling? • Ask what your child is doing or has done: seeing the teacher outside of class? Visiting the Learning Center? Working with Mr. Curtin in Learning Strategies? • Contact the teacher directly. They will have very specific knowledge of what your child is & isn’t doing to succeed. • Enlist Mr. Curtin’s help.
