Ending the School Year with Success!

Appleton Learning knows that students learn differently and even during the last few weeks of school students can learn new things and create positive acadmic habits.

Think back to when you were in school. Do you remember eagerly waiting for summer break, watching the hours creep by in the classroom, waiting for the day to end so that you could count down one more day until summer? I know I do.

Spring is here already and the beautiful weather is one more reason students might be counting down the school year. The summertime itch will probably only get worse after Spring Break, when we are in the last quarter of the school year—or as I like to call it, the home stretch.

The home stretch can be an important time for students. This is the final chance for students to improve their grades for the school year, and it is often a great time to get ahead or play “catch up” because many teachers take these last few weeks to review concepts from the semester or year. Older students have cumulative final exams to prepare for, which can sometimes count for a high percent of their final grade for a class.

For parents, being successful in the home stretch means encouraging your students to stay focused on their studies and not slack off as summer nears. For students, it means not losing focus in the last few weeks of school. This is no time to let study habits lapse or stop doing homework for classes.

Remember: it will only be a few months until school is out for summer. Brace yourself, and push through to the end of the year. You can do it!
