6. Title I T & T
(Tips and Tidbits):
Family Report Card Review
Your child just received their report card for the second quarter. Now that you have reviewed them, use it to encourage him/her to finish the school year strong. Try these strategies for a discussion with your child about their report card:
1. Give your youngster and his/her report card your full attention. For example, find a quiet spot, put away your phone, and turn off the TV.
2. Find reasons to high-five your child. Maybe he/she brought up his/her writing grade or the teacher commented on how well he/she gets along with classmates.
3. Talk about ways he/she could improve. If his/her math grade dropped, he/she might double-check work for careless errors. Or if he/she needs to be more organized, share strategies you use, like keeping office supplies in different-sized containers.♥
7. EXACT Path: Students are encouraged to log into EXACT Path daily while at home. They have a dedicated time during the school day to work on their learning paths. However, we do encourage students to continue practicing their "Leveled" skills in their "Reading and Math" learning pathways. Students are recognized bi-weekly for their mastery progress and usage minutes.
