  31. Highlights to remember… Stay involved. Monitor your child’s progress. Teach organizational skills daily for the first few months of school. (Then be prepared to reteach them every year after that!) Ask questions of administrators and teachers. Don’t wait. Seek information. Attend school events. Volunteer in school.
