    WHAT PARENTS CAN DO

    Parents can greatly impact their child's learning. Research has shown that the more parents understand what their children are learning and the more parents know how to help at home the better children do in school.

    This web page is one way that Arlington Heights is working to help parents support their children. It provides parents with information and resources that can support children in a variety of ways.

    • Ask your child about their day at school. Avoid questions that require a yes/no or one word answer. Start with a phrase such as ‘Tell me about…’
    • Have your child teach you. This reinforces their learning and is a fun way for parents to find out about what their child is learning. It also can help you pinpoint problem areas.
    • Set up a specific space and time each day for homework.
    • Do not hesitate to talk with your child’s teacher if your child is having trouble finishing homework or does not understand it. If you have your teacher’s home phone number, don’t hesitate to call.
    • Stay nearby in case your child needs help or has questions.

     

    RESOURCES to FIND HELP WITH HOMEWORK

    • Talk with your child’s teacher. E-mail your teacher if you have any questions. Their e-mail can be found on our 'Staff Directory' page.
