·     Study regularly: Taking good notes and studying every day helps students succeed.

·     Turn off distracting electronic devices: Good studying cannot be accomplished

      with the television, radio, computer or other audio or video devices on.               

·     Promote consistent reading: Students are encouraged to read a minimum of 20     

      minutes each night.

·     Ensure students eat: Breakfast is perhaps the most important meal of the day. 

On the day of their CSAP, students who eat a protein-based breakfast will have increased attention spans.

 ·    Ensure students are hydrated: Research tells us that the brain requires hydration to                   

       function well. A general rule of thumb is students should drink one cup of water per

       hour.     

·     Ensure students get a good night's sleep: Adolescents need a minimum of eight hours

       of sleep per night...nine hours of sleep is even better.                                                            

·     Help reduce student's stress: Tips include positive self-talk (“I know I can do this”),

       avoid being rushed and take deep breaths (the brain needs oxygen to think clearly).

·     Ensure that students exercise: Encourage students to spend a minimum of 15 to

       20 minutes a day in active physical exercise of some sort.

·     Believe in your student's success: Parents can best support their student by talking

       and listening about the student's school day actively, and always providing

       encouragement and support.
