Family Checklist

Choose at least one club or activity to join.

When students participate in school activities outside of classes, they are likely to develop strong friendships, enjoy school more, and do better academically.

Make a commitment to strong attendance.

Grades are higher for most students who miss less than two days of school per month. Set a goal family goal to improve or maintain your attendance.

Family Discussion Ideas

  • What classes are you enjoying & what do you like most about them?
  • Which clubs or activities are you currently involved in or are interested in joining?
