For a printable version click here: GUIDELINES FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM
The primary focus of the Academics Plus program is on basic academic skills and subject matter and the establishment of good student habits. Academics Plus is designed to instill within each child confidence, a sense of responsibility, pride in accomplishment, and a positive self-image through academic achievement. The program emphasizes a quiet and orderly learning environment.
Parents can help to assure a successful Academic Plus Program by providing an integral component in the educational process of their child(ren) through supporting the program in the following ways:
Reviewing and signing the Academics Plus Program Guidelines for a Successful Program, at the beginning of each school year.
Being involved and helping in the program whenever possible (e.g., program evaluation, class projects, field trips, classroom aide, read naturally, book buddies, fundraising, reviewing homework & weekly reports, attending meetings, etc). Academics Plus requires that parents commit no less than 30 hours of service per year) and an additional 10 hours for each additional child. Please refer to the Sierra View Website Calendar for school events or check with your child’s teacher for ways to sign up and complete your hours.
Family Service Hour Forms will be handed out each year with your contract. These forms should be filled and returned by the 10th of each month for the preceding months work. Hours will be tallied monthly and letters sent out to reflect your status.
Assisting your child(ren) with homework as needed. It is your responsibility to know your child(rens) class requirements and to make sure that your child(ren) are fully participating and meeting all deadlines.
Returning Weekly Reports and teacher/school communications in a timely manner.
Supporting the school/teacher discipline plans. It is imperative that you are in agreement with the plan laid out by the teachers and school.
