FOUR COMMON CHALLENGES FACED BY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Homework “Missing assignments affect grades.” Missing and late work is the most common academic problem. Tips:

Make homework a priority Help your child get organized Monitor your student’s work Weekly progress reports Keep in

touch with teachers and staff

Asking for help “Needs to request extra help.” The students who need help often don’t ask for it. Tips: Encourage your

student to ask teachers for help. Ask about Tutors. Contact teachers if you have a concern / question. Review progress

reports. Attend parent/teacher conferences.

Time management “So much to do and so little time to do it!” With homework, friends and family, and extracurricular

activities, many students struggle with balancing it all. Tips: Encourage your student to use a planner (replacement

planner $5.00) Set aside 45 minutes for homework each night Map out the week’s events ahead of time

Getting involved “I’m bored… there’s nothing to do!” Beyond homework and classes, Academy Publishing High offers a

variety of clubs, sports, and activities that provide opportunities to meet other students, compete against other schools,

and give back to the school community.

Tips: Encourage your student to check out all the options Contact coaches / advisors if you have any questions
