The second marking period has ended and report cards are prepared to send home (they may have already been distributed by the time you’re reading this).  Counselors meet with students to review grades, celebrate accomplishments and reinforce good study habits.  It’s also helpful for parents and guardians to review the report card with their students.  Taking time to review the report card with your student helps give the message that you care about what’s going on at school.  Ask about grades, classes, and activities that are occurring.  Point out achievements.  Use the report card as a tool to set academic goals – goals that are challenging but reachable.  Offer support and encouragement and celebrate the achievements your student has made.  The attitude and actions of parents and guardians can make a big difference.
