Parents don’t have to wait for the report card to find out how their child is doing in school. In an ideal world, report cards should be a formal documentation of grades, not the first time that parents find out how their child is doing.
Grade Power offers these five tips to help parents get involved in their children’s education.
1. Take five minutes to communicate with the teacher every week, via phone, email, or in person to ask how your child is doing in math/ reading/spelling/ listening, etc.

2. Review past report cards. Issues from last year are likely to re-appear, so review previous report cards, and watch out for trouble reoccurring.
3. Follow up when a test is returned to your child. How did it go? Were the results what you were expecting?

4. Go online. The Internet is a wonderful tool to keep informed. Log on your child’s class web page and get involved.
5. Don’t wait. If there are any issues, seek help as soon as you learn of them, rather than waiting to discuss them after report cards come home.
