Mirus parents become very involved in the learning process by attending weekly and monthly meetings with the teachers in the Resource Center, monitoring their student’s daily and weekly progress at home, attending the annual fall Open House, and participating in the spring Senior Exit Orientation. Mirus collaborates with several community partners to ensure that any resource a parent or student may need to successfully meet their academic goals is available to them.
Mirus’ “On-Demand” teachers work with you and your family from day one to create a unique educational experience. Your student will be treated as an individual and will be assigned courses based on your academic and career plans. University of California a-g approved courses are offered across the curriculum to all students. In addition, a variety of pathways that frequently align better with student needs are available. For more information on how we can personalize your student’s education, explore our Pathways Program.
Academic preparation requires training, and teachers and parents are the coaches. This is how you can coach your student for academic success. Set high expectations– Make sure your child knows it is important to you that they give school their best effort! Talk about school every day– Ask about school every day.
A daily homework routine will help your student manage their time and their assignments. Be aware of test-taking schedules and preparation– Make sure that you and your child know when tutoring is available for test preparation. Plan for transportation in advance for preparation and testing days.
Encourage your child to READ, READ, READ– No single activity is linked to academic success as much as reading. Students should read at home every day. It is a good idea to find reading material that relates to your child’s interests. Ask your child’s teacher about materials that your child may enjoy at home.
