High School Parents First Day
The
first day of school is the day in which the
teacher first contacts his or her students.
It can be crucial to how the year will
progress. First days for Middle and High
School Students are very different than
those for Elementary School Students.
Administrators, Teachers and the students
themselves have different expectations and
at this level which have to be dealt with.
1.
If this is a new school both parents need to visit the
school ahead of time, meet the staff,
explore the building and ask specific
questions.
2. Talk to your child ahead of time
so the student (s) understand what you expect of them
especially if they are seniors or freshmen.
3.
Have a good positive breakfast with
the child and express excitement about
the coming event.
4.
Review with them the school and
classroom rules and how they apply to them.
5.
Make sure they have any emergency
numbers names and addresses.
6.
Check to see if they have the right
materials, school supplies and books to insure success.
7.
Let them know that you will be there for
them in case of bullying and any form of harassment.
8.
Impress on them that the primary reason
for school is to obtain an education that will benefit them
in their future.
9. Don't let the first day be the only time you
communicate with them! Talk to them about their day and how
they are doing in class. Be specific in your questions.
