We Hope You Have a Wonderful and Restful Break!
The Second Nine Weeks Begins When We Return
A GREAT TIME FOR STUDENT SELF-ASSESSMENT
Encourage your child, perhaps with your advisement, to assess his/her level of self-satisfaction when considering the first nine weeks of school. What worked? What maybe didn't work? What could be improved? What should be continued? What are some ideas to improve his/her school/life balance? THE POINT: WHAT CAN EACH CHILD DO TO MAXIMIZE HIS/HER SUCCESS AND MINIMIZE HIS/HER STRESS IN THE SECOND NINE WEEKS?
