WHAT CAN PARENTS DO?  Make sure your child is in school and on time.  Be involved! Ask questions! Stay connected!  Kids often begin to pull away during middle school.  This is when they need you the most, just in a different way. Mistakes are ok!!  Check your child’s planner every night or Google Classroom and teacher/team pages  When in doubt, contact the teacher
