Encourage your student to finish strong this spring. It can be easy to feel like giving up or not putting in as much effort when graduation is right around the corner. Between finals, placement tests, and preparing for college, it can seem overwhelming. Allow your student to relax and take a break when necessary. Tell your student that you are proud of them for all their achievements this year!
