Dear Freshman Families,

Sending a child to the high school can be daunting, but we are here to support you and your child in having a great year and high school career. We will send our newsletter out to you each month in your email, and we know how important is is to keep connected to your high schooler and know what's happening while letting them build independence.
You can check out our website for daily announcements and follow us on social media. Our Twitter posts from @WilliamsonHS1 will appear on the website, and we also have an instagram account williamsonmarauders.
Thank you!
Dr. Avery and Miss Chaya

10 things we want you to know as you send your kid to high school…
It will be ok. Really.
They did learn something today, even if they say ‘nothing’ when you ask what it is.
If you notice something seems off or wrong- it probably is. Give us a call and we can figure it out together. All behavior has meaning.
If your child never has homework they are probably not doing it.
No, not everyone is doing risky naughty things.
Most of them eat lunch without their phones in their faces (so they can do that at home too). The majority of them really do talk to each other at lunch.
Our kids are the best-behaved, kindest kids you could find in any school. You’ve done a great job raising them. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Your kid will be really tired in the morning but they need to come in on time.
It will be really difficult at times to watch your child struggle without jumping in to rescue them, kind of like when they learned to walk. Now, instead of smashing their face on the coffee table they have grades, opportunities, and emotional well-being for you to worry about. They need to know you believe in their ability to become independent and advocate for themselves. It is a tenuous balance between being there to support and hovering.
We will love them-on good days and bad days and we will say no sometimes, and yes go for it, and put boundaries in place for them, and push them, and be there for them-and you- through the struggle.
