Supplemental educational tools are additional instruction designed to increase the academic achievement of students needing improvement or who feel the summer slump. These services may include academic assistance such as tutoring, remediation, and other educational interventions. Supplemental services are provided outside the regular school day and are not necessarily provided by New Summit Charter Academy.

Tips to Help Your Kids with Math
Here are six simple questions that you can use to support your kids with their math homework:
• “How do you know?”
• “Convince me”
• “Explain that, please.”
• “Prove it”
• “Draw a picture”
• and the simplest of all, “Why?”
Each question is designed to put the thinking work on the child, helping them to see their way through a problem that has stumped, and to potentially help you identify the specific areas of struggle or misunderstanding. When it come to homework, the answer is far less important than the questions kids are asking to get there. And as a parent, the prompts you give your kids to steer them toward those questions can make all the difference.
