As a parent, you can help in many ways.

When you tell your children what you expect from them, both during school and outside of school, it gives them a standard to follow. For example,
I expect you to:
Believe in your ability to learn and achieve
Go to school every day
Read in school and at home every day
Ask for help when you need it
Do your homework completely and on time

Living up to these five B-GRAD standards year after year help students graduate from high school on time with their class.

Children will live up to your academic and behavioral expectations, whether those expectations are high or low.
