Help Your Child Get Organized
  • Provide a place to study - Establish a work area where your child can spread out all his or her homework papers. Make sure your child has all the essential supplies. This area should be a quiet area with plenty of lighting.
  • Help your child develop a system to keep track of important papers - Binders with dividers, folders for each subject work well.
  • Make sure your child has and uses a planner/agenda - Have your child get into the habit of checking assignments off in their agenda when they  are completed. JP Case supplies our students with an Agenda in September. If is lost at any time in the school year, it should be replaced. The use of this Agenda is very beneficial to our students. At Hunterdon Central, students have to purchase their own agenda.
  • Encourage your child to estimate how long each assignment will take to complete. - this helps your child develop a realistic schedule for completing their work, especially larger projects.
