The new school year brings a new opportunity for every child to fall in love with learning. Encourage students to set academic goals and to work toward reaching them. Stress the importance of getting a good night s rest, eating a balanced diet, and getting some exercise time in every day. This week marks the third week of the first six weeks, so students have received their first progress report by now. Actually, there are only five weeks in this grading period, so there are only two weeks remaining in the first six weeks. Keep up the good work!
