This weekend is one of the rare times that our students will not have any homework in any class. This is a great opportunity for families to spend time together and discuss the successes and weaknesses for the student during the second semester. Furthermore, begin setting goals for second semester. Remember to discuss what it will be like starting with new teachers and putting the best foot forward to be successful during this semester. Also remind your student that there are several types of interventions if they are feeling overwhelmed or behind. They should talk with their teachers as communication is the best way to work on creating a successful intervention if there should be the need.
Our teachers are here to help our students both academically and in taking responsibility for their work and their decisions. It is important that parents talk with their student about acting responsibly and taking this responsibility when times get hard.
Second semester is coming and now is the time to work with your young adult and plan for their success.
