Parents and Family

If I am a parent or family member, how do I find out how my student is doing?

How can family members be supportive from afar?

• Stay Connected
  Support your student by staying connected. Communicate via phone, e-mail, IM, cell phones, and ‘snail’ mail. Students love to get care packages!  
• Checking-In
  Give your student the opportunity to share feelings and ideas with you.
• Concerns
  If family members have concerns about students safety or well being please refer the student to the Counseling and Health Services office or contact the housing office.
• Continue to Have Difficult Conversations
  Students will have to make their own decisions about sleep, academics, exercise, clubs, alcohol, and sexual relationships.   Provide your student with the facts on these issues, and empower them to distinguish between good and bad decisions when it comes to their behavior, health, and safety. Create an atmosphere of open communication.
• Expect Change
• Trust Your Student
