MAKING THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS Navigating the American High School

Our Learning Goals 1. Parents will learn the basic structure and services available at the high school sites. 2. Parents will learn what the ABC Unified graduation requirements are. 3. Parents will be exposed to basic college application requirements. 4. Parents will use the information they acquired tonight to complete a draft of the 4-year plan with their child.

Making Connections with Teachers Communication is KEY!  Attend Back to School Nights  Join PTA and volunteer  Visit classrooms   Make Appointments

Communication Chain

How do I contact people at school? FIRST (if you are comfortable). Call Second. Call the counselor if teachers do not reply to your messages.

Scenario #2 Extra-curricular activities are important, what are some ways I can help my child enhance his/her college application?

Scenario #3 Your child tells you that a few of her teammates have been making fun of her during practice and after practice in the locker room. What do you do?
