Ways You Can Help Your Children Succeed At School
Attend parent-teacher conferences and keep in touch with your child's teacher.
We usually have one or two parent-teacher conferences each year. You can bring a friend to interpret for you or let us know to provide an interpreter. Parents can also ask to meet with child's teacher any time during the year. If parents have a concern and can't meet face-to-face, send the teacher a short note in the communication diary or set up a time to talk on the phone.

Find home learning help for your child if needed.
If it is difficult for parents to help your child with home learning or school projects, see if you can find someone else who can help. Contact the school, tutoring groups, after school programs. Or see if an older student, neighbor, or friend can help.

Encourage them to read more
Reading widely is a characteristic of all the most successful students, and it’s something that parents can easily encourage from a young age. Having plenty of books available in your own home, and buying attractive volumes to give as presents for birthdays and Christmas are all simple ways to instill a love of reading in children, whatever age they are. If you wanted to be even more proactive about it, you could suggest that they join a book club (this would help with their literature studies by developing literary criticism skills), or even form your own mini-book club, in which you and your children all read a book each month and set aside time to sit and discuss it together.

Provide your child with a healthy snack and lunch
A child’s school lunches and snacks are a major source of the essential vitamins and minerals they need to grow and develop over the years. The foods you pack for your child will give them the energy and nutrients they need to learn and play at school. Without enough energy from food, they may feel tired and find it difficult to concentrate in class.. Foods rich in nutrients can contribute to students' maintaining a steady energy balance.
