Progress Reports have arrived and your student may be interested in 
improving their grades!! Some suggestions for parent and student 
include:

MEET with teacher, student and parent - arrange a meeting with the 
teacher via email (see 
<http://www.bhsacademicchoice.com>www.bhsacademicchoice.com for AC 
teachers). 
Meeting the teacher in person will provide both parent and student 
the most dimensional picture of the problem and its solution
IDENTIFY with teacher and student areas of  weakness : incomplete 
homework, low test scores, inattention in class
MAKE a plan with specific due dates, assignments and priority study areas
GET additional help/ tutoring
CHECK in daily with your student
