[quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th grader in APS and have an older kid.

With our kids, we get the parentvue grade update email once a week and if we see something off there, we ask our kids what is going on and if they need any help.

You can also get a parent observer canvas account where you can see their canvas account.  From the internet...A Canvas parent observer account allows you to monitor your child's academic progress by viewing, course content, assignments, grades, and calendars. You can see assignment due dates, course modules, announcements, and teacher feedback, as well as check if assignments are missing or late. However, observers cannot submit work, take quizzes, or see student discussion post

Both my kids came up with their own systems for tracking when work was due.  My son ended up using a white board, which was our suggestion after some screw ups.  He would map out each week and what was due.  He did this a couple months and then it just became an ingrained habit and he was better able to plan his workload.  We definitely had to go over study methods with him after some bombed tests.

My younger one is a bit more resistant to our help but she has made her way.  Her system is she has a page in her notes app on the school ipad with all the classes listed and every day she deletes thing she's finished and adds new assignments or upcoming tests to it so she can see in one place everything she is supposed to do.  It seems to work for her.

I definitely think some kids struggle more and if they need help, you support.
