Does your student need help when teachers might not be available?
Or does your student need some extra academic support in general? Good news: Online Tutoring is now available to middle- and high-school students! Through the District’s membership in OSPI Digital Learning programs, we are able to offer this service to all Issaquah secondary students at no cost. You can access the tutoring in two ways: submit a question and receive written guidance within 24 hours or join a “live” session during a tutor’s scheduled online hours to work directly with the tutor. Instructions on how to access online tutoring are posted online for middle school or high school. Need more information? Contact Susan Canaga, Online Learning Coordinator, 425-837-7087. The District’s Online Learning site also has more information.

“Hands-On” Parenting: a study at Columbia University states that teens whose parents have established rules and are “hands-on” parents, have better relationships with their parents and show a substantially lower risk of smoking, drinking, and using drugs.  79% of teen who ate dinner or a meal with their families at least one time a week, were less likely to be involved in drugs, alcohol, or smoking.  Here are some other ways to be a “hands-on” parent.

                -monitor what your teen watches on TV

                -monitor what your teen does on the Internet

                -put restrictions on the CDs your teen buys

                -know where your teen is after school and on weekends

                -be very aware of your teen’s academic performance

                -impose a curfew

                -eat dinner or another meal with your teen 6 or 7 times a week

                -turn off the TV during dinner

                -assign your teen regular chores

                -have an adult present at home when your teen returns from school

We need you!
