For many parents, getting kids to do their homework is a nightly battle. We’re here to help keep the peace by providing tools for creating a consistent nightly homework routine. We’ll also share strategies for how to support students when they have questions about math and tips to strengthen their reading skills at home.

This workshop is for families of current elementary school children.
