Parents - Help Us Help You Make sure your phone and email are correct in PORTAL (record’s clerk) Listen to all connect ed calls and read every syllabus Web sites to visit often Osceola H S Guidance page Pinellas County web page

5
ABSENCE Make-up work is not equal to the experience of in-class activities In math one day after school for each day abs. 5 absences = take all exams Less than ½ class time = 1 absence 3 tardies = 1 absence
6
Absences If absence is incorrect I cannot correct absences Regular absence – email teacher School related – email clerk School related functions – give us 3 days to correct
7
PERMIT TO LEAVE (PTL) Call or send a note in advance to get a PTL
8
Good to Know I cannot take a child out of a class without due process – If their schedule is incorrect No request to change classes will be done via email Student picks up a schedule correction form in the lunchroom Fill it out completely Student returns it to me
9
Good to Know Due process if your child is struggling or has a problem in a class– Contact the teacher first Your child’s version is an editorial You want a news story – ask for the facts Is your student doing homework with fidelity? Is your student paying attention in class? Is your student asking questions or seeking help? Is your student placed correctly?
10
You catch more bees with honey “Hi, thank you for all you do as a teacher. I know how dramatic kids can be. Today _____ came home and said “ ______”. I know that this is his/her perception. Can you remember anything that might have happened to give ______ that idea? I would like to coach him/her on his/her behavior.
11
Think about it When you sign the homework, you are verifying that this is your child’s best work
12
Save Yourself Frustration Call and talk to the RECORDS clerk for any changes in contact information Make copies of any paperwork before you hand it in. Read EVERY syllabus
13
9 th grade parent meetings Please come to the 9 th grade parent meetings Same night as the PTSA meetings – counts as your meeting Important information for freshmen parents I am available for questions
14
Mrs. McDaniel’s Advice Do not do anything for your child that he/she is capable of doing for themselves. They can email. They can get paperwork. They can look up information on our web site. They can make appointments to talk to me and to have conference. The more time I spend communicating with you means less time with students
15
Expectations Dig out your High School Transcript Avoid anxiety producing statements Ask open ended questions: Tell me……(How, what, when, where?) Avoid “Why”
16
Thank you

Parent Fundamental Expectations Sign and adhere to the Fundamental Commitment Agreement. Attend eight PTSA, SAC, or Booster meetings throughout the year. Attend all parent-teacher conferences when scheduled. Sign all homework assignments and tests per policy.
19
Save Yourself Frustration Get to know how the teacher operates In math – don’t wait until your child is drowning to get help – we have math tutoring almost every day Ask the teacher for tutoring schedule Check portal daily – ask your child first Say, “Tell me about…..”
20
Mrs. McDaniel’s Advice Give your child the “pole” position after graduation Make your child responsible for anything they are capable of doing. Have your child write all emails that pertain to information they need Be the best model
21
Your Child’s Perception Just remember – You’re the meanest mom/dad No other dad/mom …….. You don’t love me/I hate you Everyone else gets to…….. You make me do all the work! You never let me do anything! You never ……. You always……
