How can I support my student?
You are the most important person in helping your student succeed, and we want you to partner with us so we can help students be as successful as possible.
Help your student establish a routine that includes a consistent bedtime wake up time.
Help them establish a consistent place to work during class with a table/desk.
Help your student find a consistent place for school materials so they always know where their materials are. Help them organize their materials and/or papers for each class.
Headphones will be very helpful if there is more than one student attending class.
