Students concentrating on grades; these tips can help with homework

As we start the second semester at W-WMS, many students are starting to concentrate on their grades so they will make it to the next grade. Some students need some help to buckle down on their grades so here are some homework tips to help them.

1. Make sure that your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework.

2. Make sure the materials your child needs, such as paper, pencils, and a dictionary, are available.

3. Help your child with time management. 4. Be positive about homework. 5. When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers. 6. When the teacher asks that you play a role in homework, do it.

7. If homework is meant to be done by your child alone, stay away.

8. Help your child figure out what is hard homework and what is easy homework.

9. Watch your child for signs of failure or frustration.

Remember, it takes the student, the teacher, and the parent working together to ensure academic success. If you feel you need a conference with your child’s teachers, please call the school at 678-7132 to arrange for a conference.
