In 9 days we will be 1/4 (25%) finished with school year. It has been a busy time - and exciting. Lots of activities, lots of sports and lots of adjustments. It is possible that everything is just cruising along in a fine manner. But maybe it is not the way you wish it would be. There are still two weeks (9 days) prior to pushing the button on the final grade.
If you have been checking the parent portal you have an idea of how it is going. The next question would be how does your child think it is going? If you sense a bit of uncertainity, you might want your child to review with you the assignments and scores listed on the parent portal. You should encourage your son/daughter to check with her/his teacher and get a better handle on what might be a shakey grade.
Trying to ask questions after it is all over is a bit late in the process. The assumption is that all is okay. If your son/daughter has not been bringing the books home or has not been interested in sharing grades with you, you might want to ask some questions. Responsibility is a taught and learned skill. You and your student have nine days to review what has been learn or what needs to be learned prior to the next quarter. The first quarter is almost done and it can make a great big difference in that GPA all too soon.
