What should we be doing now to make next year start off smoothly for our children? - Need to Know
Answer: Next year will start off more effectively if you focus on accomplishing the following end-of-the-year tasks:
1.Make sure arrangements for summer school, tutoring, learning center or college remedial programs are in place if your children will need them to catch up with their classmates.
2.If your children need special testing for a learning disability, you need to ensure that it will be done as soon as possible next year.
3.Check out school textbooks for your children, if possible. Get last year’s books to strengthen problem areas, and get next year’s books to give them a jump-start on learning difficult subjects.
4.Gifted children should definitely not be ignored. Look for challenging summer programs that will fuel their desire to learn.
5.Find out the dates for the start of fall activities and tryouts if they begin before the year starts.
