Helpful hints for successful Cubs (and Cub parents): * Check those planners! * Visit teachers websites. * Have a study area for homework. * Have an occasional homework review. * Do a periodic check for organization. * Communicate with teachers. * Check Pinpoint regularly. If you have an upcoming parent conference, here are some suggested questions to ask- * What are my child's strengths and weaknesses? * How much time should my child spend on homework? * Are my child's assignments completed accurately? * What is the best way to keep in touch with you? Remember that when you come to a parent conference your should bring your child. It may be a little scary for them at the first meeting but they will leave feeling like a part of the team. AND...
