Management Tips
-
- When your child
comes home from school, allow at least 30 minutes for him to eat a snack
and/or relax. After he has "recharged" his batteries, review his assignment
notebook and/or (or check online
for the team's website) to verify the
assignments.
- Rather than using a
floppy disc, a flash drive is recommended for transporting files to & from
school.
Assist your child with estimating how long each assignment will take and make
a plan for when it will be done. Place all materials in a container at the
homework location. This area should be free from distractions and you may use
a timer to help your child with time management. Have your child organize his
backpack and folders the night before. Remove and store all graded assignments
and place them in a file at home. Discard papers
after the midterm & at the end of the trimester.
Record T.V. programs to watch after homework is completed.
- It is best to
complete assignments at least 30 minutes before his bedtime. Most middle school
students need at least 9 hours of sleep each night.
- Students may use an
accordion type folder (label tabs) with an elastic band to hold all loose
papers or 6 individual folders. Loose papers must be secured.
- Stretchable fabric
book covers (5) are recommended for covering text books.
- Copies of student
texts are available at the public library if the student has forgotten to
bring his home.
