Supporting Students at Home

Here are some tips you can follow at home to help ensure your child’s success at RUHS:

• Make attendance a priority. There is an undeniable link between a student’s attendance and their overall success. Call the school attendance line when your child will be absent: (414) 906-4900. We must be sure every student has arrived safely and follow up with any who are absent. We must also record absences correctly.
• Make sure your child arrives at school on time every day (8:00 a.m.).
• Make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for school. Please let us know if your student needs a coat or other outerwear.
• Communicate with us. By communicating with the school, you are able to keep up with your child. It is recommended that parents attend parent-teacher conferences and reach out anytime if there are concerns or changes that may affect students.
• Set realistic expectations. It is always important to set standards to ensure that our children are working towards achieving a goal. Make sure that these standards are realistic and attainable. By setting expectations, we can hold our students accountable for their education.
• Keep your child healthy. Make sure your child is getting enough rest and eating right. It is important that our students are prepared every day. By caring for your child’s physical, emotional, and mental health, you are ensuring that your child is ready to succeed in school.
• Ask for help. We understand that there are often obstacles that affect families. We are here to help. If you would like to talk to a school counselor, psychologist, or social worker, please reach out. Our goal is to collaborate with parents and families to build a strong support network for our students.
• Share your voice at our monthly School Engagement Council (SEC) meetings.
