Students… · Take notes. o Use them to help do the homework. o Keep them to study for quizzes, tests, finals—we are finding them in the trash. o Some teachers have note sheets on their websites. Students may print them out and fill in the parts that are missing rather than copy all of the notes. Parents… Ask to see your child’s notes. When they ask you to help with homework, ask them to see the examples they copied. Students… · Do homework. o Every night. o Looking at the problems doesn’t count as attempting them. o Show work. o Seek help if needed. o Participate in discussion of homework. Parents…Ask to see there homework each night. Encourage them to study math even if they say they finished the homework. Monitor Infinite Campus to see it is being turned in. Students… · Get extra help when it is needed o Teachers are available some mornings and afternoons. Many have a place on the board where they indicated their availability for the week. o Math Lab Monday thru Thursday 8:00 to 8:30 and 3:45 to 4:10. Students sign in and then are helped by Peer tutors (math team members). Parents… Write a pass for your child to get extra help in the mornings. Hall monitors require a pass after 8:10 am. Students… · Keep an organized notebook o Teachers expect students to have the notes they have given them. If a student asks a question before they have looked at their notes, they haven’t really tried the problem. o They have an EOCT in May and will need to be prepared for it. Parents… Ask to see their notebook. If it is a mess, help them organize it. If it is empty, ask why. Students… · Make up work promptly o Students are required to make up work within 5 days if the absence is excused. o Students should makeup work when they miss for a field trip within one day. o If they miss tests or quizzes, they should plan to come before or after school to make it up. Parents… If your child has missed class, ask if they have spoken to the teacher about makeup work. Encourage them to attend school every day.
GA College 411 website
Have your student see their Guidance Counselor if they don't remember their login information. In September, all 9th graders (if they were present in school) created an account on this website, completed a careers survey, saved at least 3 careers to their portfolio, and they started to work on their 4 year high school plan.
Four Year High School Plan Attached under the "Related Files" section you'll find a 4 year high school plan example to follow in helping your student complete their plan on their GAcollege411 account. Also attached is an instruction sheet for completing a career search, college search, and developing a high school plan.
