Recommendations

 

• Access the portal periodically – check each subject once a week.
• Monitor your child’s progress and use this knowledge to show a genuine interest in their academic performance.
• Use this information as a way to starts a meaningful dialog with your child.  Example:  Describe what you learned?  What did you find challenging?
• Value what your child is learning more than grades they are earning.
• Ask your child how often they review the portal.  Share your use of the portal with them openly and honestly.
• The portal is not a substitute for face-to-face conversations with our teachers.
• Establish a homework time, review assignments together.
• Encourage and support goals for your child’s continuous improvement

                                              
 

 

 

We suggest parents/guardians avoid

• Micromanaging your child’s progress by checking the portal too frequently.
• Communicating grades before the teacher has reviewed them with your child.
• Overreacting to a less than desirable score or grade.
