What You Can Do
to Help Your Child
at Home

Each day ask your child what he/she did that day in school.

Each day ask to see your child’s papers and notices from school.

Have a quiet time each day when the children sit down to do their homework—TV-OFF.

Make sure your child gets proper rest so he or she can function at school—a reasonable bed time.

You take charge of the TV and decide what your children will watch.

Use the newspaper and magazines with your child.

Each child needs a place to call his or her own, a place to keep his or her things.

All things for school should be assembled the night before.

Your child should leave for school in a good frame of mind.

• Breakfast!

• Routine

• Notes to school written beforehand

Come to school as often as you can.

From School Power, by Dr. James Comer


“Parents are the first and most important models and teachers of their children.” - Dr. James Comer
