Support parents in helping their children at home

1. Offer a training session for parents on how to help their child with homework.

2. Open school computer labs or libraries in the evenings so parents may access blogs, teacher web sites, and other resources and tools on the Internet.

3. Coordinate remediation and homework sessions for students in neighborhoods within the school’s boundaries.

4. Recommend that parents encourage their child to read to them daily.

5. Distribute assignment planners to students.

6. Assign homework in a way that encourages parents to be actively involved with their child’s homework and study time.

7. Send parents weekly folders with graded work so they can track their child’s progress and monitor areas in which they need assistance.
