How to Help Your Child Succeed at School

Written By tom snyder

DeSales teachers and counselors are here to assist students in every step of the academic process. Parents are partners in the educational journey. Here are ways parents and families can help support their students

Do

  • Set positive expectations.

  • Maintain a healthy sleep schedule.

  • Establish a homework routine.

  • Join Google Classroom and Attend Parent-Teacher Conferences. 

  • Prepare and organize for the school day the night before. 

  • Model healthy screen time and social media use.

Don’t

  • Overschedule-- everyone needs time to decompress.

  • Obsess over PowerSchool. Learning is a process.

  • Encourage helplessness; instead, teach how to self-advocate.

  • Permit frequent tardiness and absences. Attendance is vital for school success.

  • Compare students. Every child is unique!

  • Allow lack of communication. Encourage activities and find time to interact.
