Parent Education

Does your student love to travel? Are they interested in traveling with peers? Erin Field and Tina Gullberg take students in Lamorinda on international trips every summer. This year we are going to Italy, Austria, and the Czech Republic! I know that many of you travel frequently, but trips like this allow students to become more independent and make lasting memories with their friends.

Any student at Acalanes (or any of the other schools in our district) is invited to join us! They do not need to be in my class or have ever had Ms. Field as a teacher. All are welcome on this trip!

We are having one final meeting about the trip. It will be at Sideboard on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 6:30pm. The deadline for registration is Sunday, Nov.15. We already have some registered! Please RSVP for the meeting using this link: https://webapp.acis.com/trips/recruiting–meeting/MjAyN3wxNjA1NHw5MDM=

Here are some valuable pro-tips from seasoned student leaders that we want to share:

• Check in with your students about finals. Encourage them to take advantage of the many resources available to help study and de-stress. Visit the APC website for a reminder of resources available.
• Encourage your student to visit the RogerHub website to utilize their Final Grade Calculator. Some students find it helpful to calculate what score they need to achieve on their final exam in order to get the semester grade they desire in the class.

Let’s face it, finals can be a stressful time not only for our students, but also us parents, so hang in there!
