WEBINAR SUMMARY:

No More Late Nights: Overcoming Procrastination in Middle School Students
As a parent of a middle schooler, you likely know the pain of getting to the end of a long day only to realize your child never completed a project or studied for a test that’s… tomorrow?! 

 When kids procrastinate on schoolwork, it leads to less sleep and more stress for the entire family. This unhealthy habit doesn’t do their grades any favors either! Fortunately, procrastination is a habit your child can unlearn, and we’re here to share practical strategies you can start implementing this school year. 

Join Ann Dolin, M.Ed., Founder and President of Educational Connections, at this free virtual event on March 5th for insights on: 
 ✓ The real reason kids procrastinate (It’s not what you think!)  

✓ How to get your child to start early on assignments  

✓ Simple rewards to correct this frustrating tendency  

✓ Ways to stop the late nights and high stress caused by procrastination  

✓ Smart study strategies for helping your child recall more and improve their grades 

Procrastination might be common, but that doesn’t mean it’s unavoidable. Let this be the year when procrastination and stress come to an end in your household! 

You must register in advance so we may send you the Zoom link. Please feel free to invite a friend to join you. We look forward to seeing you there!

This year’s Book Fair is going to be epic! More Books. More Choices.

Please help – we need more volunteers for the WMS Book Fair!  (Must be RAPTOR approved but it’s a quick and easy process: https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/MjQyMDplbi1VUw==)
