This Wednesday at 7 PM in the cafeteria.

Register today for this FREE workshop.

Patterns of disorganization, procrastination, and late assignments wear down and discourage many parents of students as the school year grinds on. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

Join us for this FREE workshop this Wednesday, October 16th, at 7 PM, where Ann Dolin will share her expert advice and practical strategies to support your child’s success and transform school-related stress into triumphs this school year. Participants will learn:

Strategies to help your student stay on top of their work and maintain order with easy-to-implement organizational routines
Uncover which type of procrastinator your child is, from crisis-maker to dreamer, and get personalized solutions for each procrastination style.
How your child can effectively use a calendar system to combat procrastination and ensure assignments are turned in on time
Communication starters to develop a relationship of trust at the start of the school year and how to nurture it for a smooth academic journey

Empower your child to succeed! Please register so we can plan for seating and light refreshments. Reserve your spot today!
