• Have your child login onto Canvas.
• Write down your child's login information.
• Divide homework into segments and set time limits for each segment.
• Set short term goals for large projects and write it down.
• Provide a quiet work space.
• Set a regular “homework time.”
• Take short breaks between segments.
• Help with homework, answer questions, and give explanations. Don’t do the homework!
• Check or review homework with your child.
• Contact the teacher with questions or problems, or have your child self-advocate.
• Make Sunday a clean out your binders and backpack night.
• Store important papers in a file or bin and throw out unwanted ones.
• Bring your child back to school one afternoon each quarter (or as needed) to clean out their locker.
