DANG those online report cards.
Nowadays we have access 24/7 to our teens’ grades and GPA scores. And I’ve gotta tell ya, it’s a little stressful.
I kinda liked not knowing about my kids’ grade offenses until those quarterly progress reports came out. Call me irresponsible (go ahead, do it).
I’d rather just stick my head in the sand sometimes.
But of course, as a college planning coach and former teacher, I know a few things about encouraging good grades from my girls.
And they were acutely aware from the very first day of high school that every grade they received would count toward the infamous Grade Point Average.
(No pressure, daughters.)
Over the years I’ve learned some effective ways to help students improve those GPA scores.
I hope these tips will help to guide your teen in an upward direction, too!
Mid-term and final exams are right around the corner for many teens, and I’m sure your kid’s one of ’em.
With final exams and other end-of-school-year activities on the horizon, it can be easy for teens to slip into overwhelm.
So, everyone knows that good grades in high school is important for college admissions. But there’s way more to that transcript that admissions officers look for than just a student’s grades.
Ahhh, new beginnings. It’s the start of a new high school year and things are fresh and perfect. Your teenager’s starting over with great grades this semester (ok, sure – no real grades yet, but no bad ones, either). There’s a sort of light feel around all of this.
