Fresh Starts....
This is a good time to take a minute to reflect with your student(s). Sit with them, review their first quarter progress and performance and look at where they want to go during the second marking period. Talk with your student(s) not only about the goals they have, but about the plan they have for achieving those goals. If your child(ren) do not have goals, help them plan what their goals will be. Work with them on setting checkpoints during the second marking period to monitor their progress and adjust their goals as they move on.
