text: One thing that you could do to maybe improve the grades is making sure that they are always up to date on their work and making sure that they are getting decent grades. My old volleyball coach had us do a grade checks and S-U forms every week to keep up with our grades. We would have to have a teacher, parent, and the coach sign it every week. The S was for is for satisfactory or good behavior in class and the U was for unsatisfactory, or needs work on the behavior in class. The teacher would circle the S or the U twice a day, once in the beginning of class and then once at the end of the class. Then the teacher would leave a comment and what homework that was assigned that day. The grade checks allowed the teacher to keep in touch with the student's grade as well as the coach, and parent.
