What can Parents do for 6th Graders? Join the PTSA and be involved in school activities. Volunteer at the school if you can. Continue to have lunch with your child as long as they will have you. Talk to your child often about school, grades and teachers, etc. Review Parent Portal weekly to oversee completion of work and posted grades. Encourage and monitor completing homework and studying daily. Provide a study area at home. Communicate with your child’s counselor and teachers. Request Parent Conferences when needed! (These are not automatically scheduled). Encourage exploration of interests, but monitor time management with extra-curricular activities. Create a schedule for what their day looks like after school. Dump out book bags and lockers regularly to assist with organization and ensuring assignments are being turned in. Lavoie
