A Parents Guide to Helping Your Child Be Successful in School

You want your child to do well in school, but it’s hard to know what to focus on and when. This guide takes the guesswork out of it.

Created by Dr. Sherry Pough, an educator with over 25 years of experience and 10 years as a school leader, this guide gives you clear, practical steps for every month of the school year. Each month has a theme and a short checklist that matches what your child is going through in school at that time.

What’s inside:

• A month-by-month plan from August through summer, with a focus for each month
• Simple action checklists you can follow at home
• Quarterly wrap-up pages to review progress and set new goals
• Notes pages to track conversations, grades, and ideas
• A year-end reflection section to celebrate your child’s growth and plan for next year

This guide is for you if:

• You want to be more involved but aren’t sure where to start
• Your child needs extra support, structure, or motivation
• You want better communication with your child’s teachers
• You want to catch small problems before they become big ones

It’s never too late to start. Open the guide to the current month and begin today.
