Ah, high school. Football games. Prom. And tons of tests. For a lot of parents (and students), high school can seem like a blur of exams, all with funny names (PSAT, SAT, ACT, EOCT, GHSGT, etc). Don't despair, though – it's all manageable, as long as you're organized.
During high school, you'll want to ask for your child's schedule each semester so you will know what classes your child is taking. At the end of every semester, be sure to get a transcript to help keep track of your child's grade point average and attendance records. Set aside time and a place for homework and always ask if all homework assignments are completed before going to school. Finally, make SURE your kid goes to school every day. At this stage, math and science courses are tougher, which makes it easier to fall behind.
No matter what your child's plans are, encourage him or her to keep taking math and science during senior year. It will prove to be a lifelong advantage.
