As summer break draws to a close, students can begin to prepare for a new school year filled with positive experiences. Looking forward to new friends, new teachers, and new successes is a refreshing approach to getting prepared. Begin by asking your child about their successes from the last school year. Look ahead and set goals for the upcoming school year. What subjects are your favorites? How can you enhance your successes from last year? What subject is your least favorite? How can you improve in that area?
