Keep or get your parents involved: Don’t assume they know how things are going just because they can login to Edline.
Parents need to be involved in every one of the listed activities. They need to be part of the planning and decision-making process before each of these activities. Remember, some parents do not always possess effective communication skills. Sometimes, parents assume they know a student’s goals and future plans. Sometimes, they make plans without consulting the student. Parents need to be reminded that, while in high school, their child can take on more responsibilities but they often can’t do everything alone. While parents need to be encouraged to allow students increasing levels of responsibilities, high school should not just be four years of pre-college life, where the student is fully responsible for their own success and failure.
An occasional prayer with your parents would also be welcome.

P.S. Especially during these chaotic times, the administrators and teachers should not assume that every parent knows what is going on. Despite the many forms, both active and passive, of impersonal information dissemination available today, important information can often go unnoticed. If you notice a pattern of disinterest, perhaps some personal attention may make a difference.
