Summer is coming to an end, and that means it's BACK TO SCHOOL time for many of our students.  If you are working with a youth, now is a good time to reintroduce basic concepts that may be covered in classes, as well as important work habits that will help your student achieve success and make a smooth transition into the new year. 

For those of you working with adults who have children, help them prepare to be more active participants in their kids' education.  Depending on the level of your learner, this can be as simple as teaching them how to call in an absence, ask questions in a parent-teacher conference, keep a calendar of important school events and deadlines, and keep school contact information readily available in case of emergencies. 

If you are working with parents in the East Bay, we have put together a handy manual in conjunction with the Oakland Unified School District.  This manual, translated into several languages, aims to provide our adult learners with the tools necessary to engage educational institutions with confidence and facility.  Feel free to contact us if you would like a copy.

The new school year brings excitement and promise to many of our students--both youth and adults alike.  Take advantage of this enthusiasm and anticipation!  And don't forget to plan your first-day-of-school outfits! 


Lots of Gratitude,
