Do you remember your first day of school? 

Regardless of one’s academic status, be it kindergarten, middle school, senior year, or a freshman moving into the dorms, the first day of school is a milestone moment. Quite often, more tears are shed by parents than pupils. There’s just something about witnessing your child embark on a journey independent of you that creates a little (or big) tug at the heart.  

As the first day of school quickly approaches, we turn to an expert educator for advice on preparing students for academic success. Her advice was wise and winsome. It turns out that parents and teachers are the key to success in the school year ahead. 

Join us for all of Judi's advice and help the kiddos in your life have a great school year.
