A Guaranteed Success Plan Any Kid Can Have

Make a plan for after school activities. Schedule adequate time for homework, play, and sports

·        Scale back TV time.  There is never a quiz on what you watched on TV, but maybe for that book you should be reading!

·        Establish a family reading time.  Reading is for everyone, and YOU may get to be the teacher for younger siblings.

·        Establish bed times for school nights.  You should have at least 8 hours of sleep.

·        Keep a large calendar.  Mark each family member’s activities in a different colored pen.

·        Collect important phone numbers.  Update friends, parent's work,the school's office, after-school program and neighbors.

·        Create a "homework question" phone list.  Determine which classmates you can call when you don't know what to do.

·        Have a backup plan.  Find another adult who will help you if you do not understand your work, like a neighbor or and older sibling.

·        Spruce up a study space for yourself.  Include pens, pencils, a dictionary and other needed supplies.

·        Set up a file for school papers.  Place all school notices in it so you don’t misplace them.

·        Get in the habit of getting ready the night before school.  Set out clothes, pack lunch and put the backpack by the front door.
