STARTING HIGH SCHOOL
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Your child’s future begins right
NOW.
SETTING GOALS is a HUGE part of being
successful.
Winston Churchill said,
"He who fails to plan is planning to fail"
Think about short, medium, and
long-term goals
• Short term goals help you stay on track. For
example, doing well on a test or joining a club.
• Medium-term goals, such as getting straight A’s, is
usually the result of reaching several short term
goals.
• Long-Term goals, such as graduating, are the result of
all the goals that came before.
Help your child start off on the
right foot
• Preparation
An organizer (paper or electronic) is very
important; students have more going on in
high school than ever before. Keeping track of
assignments and tests for the day, week,
month and semester will be more complicated
with 7 classes and 7 teachers AND
extracurricular activities.
Help your student get into the
homework routine
• Plan a time that works for your student to do
homework every night.
It’s important that it be the
same time every night, to build
consistency, and foster good habits.
