      Parents are strongly encouraged to check their student's grades regularly using Schoology.  With this feature, parents can see the teachers' grade books to check the specifics of their child's grade.  Some questions to consider:
      • Is the student completing all of his/her homework?  if the grade is 0 or "Z" then direct communication with the teacher would be a good idea.  All teachers are available via email or voicemail
      • Look for trends.  What is the homework grade compared to the in-class assignments or test grades?  The more you can pinpoint the issue the better able to address the problem and fix it.
      • Connect with the teacher.  All teachers regularly check their email and voicemail.
      If a student is having trouble in classes or earning low grades, there are several options to consider:
      • Does the student have a tutorial hour that can be focused on the topic where there is trouble?  For example, we have special Math tutorials available where the student can ask questions to a math teacher to support their class.  See the counselor for more information on this.
      • Has the student checked with the teacher to get help?  Many teachers offer help before or after school.  There is never any charge for this.
      • Has the student sought out free tutoring through NHS after-school or the Spanish Honor Society before or after school?
