Students who feel they are not challenged by or engaged in their classes should:

• Check to be sure they are fulfilling all current expectations of the teacher.
• Speak with their teacher regarding their concerns. Ask for more feedback on their work.
• Ask the teacher for supplementary work they could explore on their own.
• Find other work related to class and/or personal interest. Our librarian (or a community librarian) or your parent could help you with your search.

If the situation is not remedied:

• Share their concern with a parent and school counselor and seek guidance on how to proceed.
• Speak with a building administrator to seek further solutions.

Parents who are concerned their child is not being adequately challenged should:

• Seek to understand the nature of the class by talking with their student and the teacher about the course syllabus and the behavior expectations.
• Ensure your child is actively participating in his/her education during the school hours by talking with the teacher about the quality of work of the student and the academic expectations of the teacher.
• Monitor the study habits of their student to ensure the student is doing all he/she can to maximize the challenge of the work.
• Ask teachers for regular progress reports.

If the situation is not remedied:

• Discuss your concern in a parent/teacher conference arranged with a school counselor.
• Speak with a building administrator to seek further solutions.
