Send a Boost of Encouragement to your Student! Momentum Mail is a heartfelt initiative from the ShockerStrengths Initiative that empowers friends, family, and supporters to uplift students with words of encouragement. Whether it's a note before finals, a message to celebrate a milestone, or just a reminder that someone cares 鈥� your words can make a lasting impact.
This July...
Moving Forward
Summer is a quieter time to take stock of the past year and readjust if needed. Expect students to push for even more independence and be increasingly future-oriented. This will inevitably create changing dynamics in the family. Take time to listen to each other鈥檚 perspectives, set boundaries where necessary, and compromise with each other as much as possible. Remember, adjustments take time, and your student has developed some new perspectives from which the whole family can benefit.
Encourage your student to look at their 麻豆传媒 email daily. All official communication and the delivery of information will be done via their 麻豆传媒 email. It is best for your student to get into the habit of using the school email from now.
