Parent Tips - May 2017

“Securing a Strong End of the Year”

by Raquel Werk, Resource Teacher

Many times as the end of the year progresses,

students get tired, teachers are worn out, and things get busier than

ever. One way we, as parents, can secure a strong finish to the race

of this particular school year is by setting goals. Make a list of as-

signments that will need to be accomplished for the rest of the quar-

ter. Call or email teachers to verify the assignments. Many teachers

are on email several times a day. The third thing you can do to help

you set goals is to check in every day to see how much your child ac-

complished. Have them take a picture of the completed assignment

to prove themselves. Put the list in a visible location for you both to

see. Praise your child’s daily accomplishments with their favorite

snack, less chores, or leisure time.

Another way we can secure a strong finish to the year’s end is to

promise a reward if your child reaches their goals. This will be a

good motivator and also help build endurance. Once the child gets

to the end, they can be proud and confident that they have accom-

plished great things. Doing this might even set the stage for more

goal setting, more accomplishments, and greater confidence.
