What can you do to help your student be more successful in the 3rd 9 weeks?
Review Grades Regularly
Review grades on Parent Portal. If you are having difficulty logging on to Parent Portal, you can contact Dee Dee Temple, Student Data Coordinator, at 803-699-3580 ext. 3416 or via email at dtemple@richland2.org. She can help you with login difficulties.
You can also set it up in Parent Portal so that you receive email updates automatically. Log on to Parent Portal and click on “Email Notification” in the left hand column (it’s the 3rd choice on the list).
Take Advantage of Extra Help
Your child has the chance to get Math help every day before school. The Math Lab is located in the media center and is open from 6:50-7:20 a.m. A certified math teacher supervises the math lab every morning and can assist students who are struggling. Make sure the student gets a pass from their math teacher to go.
Teachers offer FREE tutoring at least once a week. Contact the teacher to find out when their tutoring is offered. A list of teachers, their email addresses, and links to their web sites can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WFnESPBY6_hAAlY5geOxtRHtlViYa3QeGnnY97IRfYQ/edit
The SPMS School Counseling web site has links to sites that can help parents and students improve academic performance. There is also information on other topics of interest to students and parents. You can also subscribe to the site to receive updates.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
If you would like to meet with one or more of your child’s teachers, you can contact your child’s grade-level school counselor to schedule a conference.
