ELEMENTARY COLLEGE AWARENESS

College will offer your student countless opportunities in life. There are some simple things you can do to help your student prepare.

 

Start early.
No matter how young your student is, it is never too early to begin planning for college and talking with your student about it.

Be clear.
Communicate your expectations to your student about his or her behavior and performance in school.

Talk.
Have frequent conversations with your student about schoolwork, goals and the importance of education.

Encourage.
Motivate your student to try new activities, volunteer in the community and succeed in school. Studies have shown that students involved in school activities enjoy school more and do better academically. Extra activities at school help students make new friends, gain confidence and new skills and have fun!
