How to Deal with a Poor Report Card?

Sit down with your child and discuss the issues at school. See what your child has to say on the situation, and create
effective dialogue.
Be proactive and not reactive. Create a plan and set it into motion. Screaming and punishing may not be the best solution.
Contact the school. See if teachers notice anything about your child’s performance and can offer suggestions.
Offer your child possible and achievable rewards for success. Mutually create a contract that will allow the child to see the benefits of hard work.
Look at past performance. If these types of grades are a pattern, see what the possible reasons are for performance
trends during the year.
Have your child use an agenda on a daily basis. Try to create a system with the school to have it initialed both by
teachers and parents. This will help with work completion and long-term planning issues.
On a weekly basis, help your child organize school materials.
