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!

I am excited about Sr. High "canvas" this week. We will be talking about "back to school" issues. It has been a fun week hearing from different people about there high school journey, and what they would say to the high school students if they got a chance...

I think it is going to be a great night...don't miss it!

School starts back this week in Simi Valley. I was wondering who was excited about going back and who was dreading going back to school.

For me, it was both...I did not enjoy school but I was ready for it to start again every summer because of my friends, activities and routine it brought back into my life.

How about you?
