How to help your student:

At SAS students can have a significant amount of nightly work in all their respective classes. Organizing a schedule with your child can help maximize time and enable them to complete their assignments and prepare for assessments. Using I-Cal, their agenda or any other calendar ask your to identify their class load each night and how they can complete their work. A time table will also outline their 'free time' and include any extracurricular activities they take part in.
 * ORGANIZE:**

Modern World History students will need to be online for some of their work as well use a computer to access their CD-Rom textbook so it is likely they will be using their computer nightly for assignments. While on line, inevitably they will drift from their task at hand so a time table will help to remind them to stay on task. If possible, time saving measures could include disconnecting while just using the text or determine or even ask for proof that being online is required.
 * Digital Distractions:**

Summative assessment is a way we measure how students learn material throughout the year. Test and quizzes are the immediate but not the only way we assess students. MWH students will be given periodic quizzes which cover material addressed in nightly assignments and end of the unit test will assess overall knowledge. Quizzes occur roughly every two weeks while a unit test may be 5 weeks apart. Quizzing your student or helping them with content will always help them perform better on assessments.
