So, by now just about everybody is back to school...I have a challenge for all the parents.

Have you taken the time to let your students know your expectations for them this school year? Do they know because you told them or do you think they know because they just "should know"?

Parents, do you know what your expectations are for your child this school year?

My challenge for you is this, figure out what your expectations are for your child...(be realistic)
then, create a special time where you can share with your child/children what your expectations are for them this school year.

I think this will lay the ground work for great conversations, success, encouragement and dialogue later on in the school year, if everyone starts out on the same page!
