Here are some tips and tools to help your child get good grades (and you a little peace of mind). Track your kids' priorities From sports teams to fashion trends, today’s kids have a lot on their minds.
Keeping track of homework assignments and projects can be an uphill battle. Encourage your child to try using a calendar to help prioritize assignments and keep track of due dates. PC-based options are great because your student can set electronic reminders for project deadlines.
One easy-to-use option is the calendar in Microsoft® Works 8. The Works 8 Calendar allows up to four people to create their own personal calendars, which is great if you have multiple children in your household. You can view each individual calendar, or use the View Together function to see two or more schedules combined.
With just a couple clicks, you can get a snapshot of everyone’s current and upcoming assignments and projects. You can help keep them on track by spending a few minutes every night checking in to see how various reports and papers are going. Showing interest can be a real motivator for kids and will also help them see the importance of working toward academic success
