					that you can do to help your child and show them that you care about what they are learning in school. Make sure you always look over the homework with your student. They can explain to you what they have done on the assignment and this shows you that they understand and shows them that you care enough to involve yourself with their homework. Also, check their agenda book and make sure that they are writing down their assignments. Ask them to show you each assignment they have written down even if it is finished. This allows you to check and make sure that they have actually finished all of their assignments. Most of all, stay positive with your child and give them praise as often as possible. If ever there is a concern please feel free to call me at the school. Ms. Denae Webber Counselor
