Students who start each day with an academic plan find greater success in school! As parents/ guardians it is your desire for your child to have a great experience in school. Here are 5 strategies to help them find success:
1.) Communication: We all know communication is a key. Keep the lines of communication open with your child, their teachers, and the school. Use email and social media to stay informed and up to date.

3.) Time Management: Learning time management helps students become more productive and efficient as kill need in all occupations. These skills help alleviate stress and allow student to form a certain amount of control.
4.) Foster Self-Advocacy: the ability to communicate your needs is a huge skill needed in today's classroom. Through the voice they are developing students will find greater success.
5.) Establish Routines: this is one of the most important skills learned. This skill helps reduce stress, increases organization, and allows student to perform their best. Learning to follow the process of a routine helps students to regulate behaviors, learn to think through problems and find the best solutions.
