Please note that the "without internet option" requires students to check out a district issued Chromebook. If you have internet AND your student has their own laptop or Chromebook, they may use that instead of the district Chromebook.

Share a four-step approach to essay tests
Teens who are unsure how to approach essay tests are often anxious about them. Share four steps with your teen to build his confidence: 1. Schedule time. Three essays in 40 minutes means 10 minutes for each with 10 minutes to check work. 2. Read the question carefully and circle key words. 3. Make a quick outline by jotting down ideas and deciding how they fit together. 4. Start by writing a quick introduction and conclusion.

Strengthen writing skills and family ties with a newsletter
Are your relatives far away? Your child can keep everyone updated on family activities and improve his writing skills at the same time by putting together a family newsletter. Have him write letters or emails to ask relatives for news, family stories and photos. Then he can use a computer at home or at the library to compile their replies. He'll gain typing, writing and layout skills, and the joy of keeping the family connected.

Eliminate supply hunts at homework time
If statements like "I can't find a ruler" and "I can't do my social studies until I find my colored pencils" are common delay tactics at homework time, help your child create a homework tray. Collect tape, glue, rulers, pencils and other supplies and put them in a tray tote or a basket. The container is off limits unless your child is doing homework. With everything in one place, your child can't waste time hunting.

Encourage activities that reveal strengths and interests
Discovering strengths and interests is a key step in the journey toward college and career readiness. Reading widely will expose your teen to new ideas and pursuits. So will talking to people about their jobs and interests. Encourage him to try new things, such as a new club at school. And when he learns about a career he might like, suggest that he find out what high school classes he should take to prepare.

Create a time line of your child's lifetime
A time line is a graphic way to help your child connect world history to her own personal history. To make one, stretch a roll of paper along the floor. Have your child draw a line horizontally across it. Above the line, she can write important dates in her life, chronologically from left to right. Below the line, help her do the same with historic events that have occurred since her birth.
