News:
I would like to welcome all the new students and families to
Within these past couple of weeks I have seen and heard of many students
who are becoming overwhelmed with the work and expectations by their teachers.
Please assure your children that this is not an uncommon feeling and that many
other students are probably feeling the same way.
Here are some ways parents can help ease some of the anxiety:
Break down homework assignments.
Check out the homework page http://www.acushnetschools.us/ford/homework/homework.htm
or your child’s AGENDA BOOK for
homework information. It is updated every day.
Don’t let them wait until the last minute to do
homework.
Have them take short breaks during their homework
time.
Try to have them keep organized- the easier it is
to find work and books the less stressful it will feel.
Talk to teachers or other staff about what is
expected of your child or concerns.
Most students have a library period that can be used to
read or do homework
Students are welcomed to stay after school for extra
help with work
WELCOME
BACK TO SCHOOL

GRADERS
Let’s start off to a good year. Make sure your children are completing
those homework assignments and class work. Don’t let them fall behind this
early in the game.
Please stay in touch with what is going on in school. We have already
seen bullying incidents among the students, issues around eating, and
relationship issues, to name a few. Feel free to contact the guidance office
with any concerns or referral options.
