There are only 27 school days left in 2015! Energy levels can get low as we prepare for our holiday season. Here are some tips to keep students organized and focused:
- Remind them what they should have in their possession each day before they leave home
- Remind them of your expectations as a student each day (strength based words)
- Check Canvas with your student each day
- Help to create a task list/calendar for your student to keep them organized
