Here's some things that might help your student if they're struggling:
- Contact the Teacher: Of course the first step must be contacting the teacher to find out the details of what went wrong. Contact the teacher listed on the report card either by email or phone. You may want to have a personal meeting with the teacher if there is much to discuss. But however it is done, you must get the teachers perspective and the specifics of what went into the failing or otherwise low grade. To make a solid plan of how to solve the problem, we need to first understand the problem. That starts with contacting the teacher. Hilo High Teacher Telephone extention numbers (and note the #5, method for figuring out staff email addresses if you want to try email.)
- After-school Math Tutoring: Hilo High will be having Math tutoring again! Looks like the tentative start date is when we return from Fall intersession. It is planned to work as it has in the past. Ms. Park and Ms. Fukushima will hold after-school drop-in tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:20 to 3:30. Students simply needed to go to Ms. Park's and/or Mrs. Fukushima's rooms with their book and whatever assignments they needed help with. This has been a great help in the past and will be again, I'm sure.
- PTSA After-school Homework Assistance: For any student who wants help to complete their assignments ir any student who just wants to complete their homework prior to going home. The days/times are Tuesday/Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30 and Wednesday from 1:30 to 2:30.
- UH Manoa now offers free online tutoring! And it's interactive! Go to their website and follow the instructions and you will soon be connecting with a UHM student tutor! I checked with them and it seems they get mostly Math questions, but can help with whatever they can, even Chemistry! Click here for the UHM Online Learning Academy home page!
- Daily Student Progress Report Forms or as they are affectionately called "Dog Tags". Often asked for by parents, this form is carried from teacher to teacher throughout the day by students and presented by the students to the teachers for feedback. It is the student's responsibility to request teachers to fill out this form at the end of each period. It is not the teacher's responsibility to ask for the form. This form is only effective if there is follow-up at home interms of consequences. Here is a link for the form which is in MS Word format. (I'll try to get an open source version up at some time in the future. Daily Student Progress Report Form.
That's all for now. Check in again from time to time for new information and links! And as always, if you have concerns, please Contact a Counselor!
