The Battle Against Boredom
With the summer winding down, many parents, caretakers, and even siblings are probably already tired of hearing the familiar whine, “There’s nothing to do!” For some it will come as no surprise that July is National Anti-Boredom Month. Since school doesn’t start until the end of the month here are some ideas to fight off the cries of “I’m bored to death.”

What Parents Need to Know About this Year’s Standardized Testing
Late in 2014, the Arizona State Board of Education adopted Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching (AzMERIT) as the new statewide standardized testing. The new exam system will be given to 3rd grade through high school students in April and will replace the AIMS test in reading, writing and math.
We wanted to answer some questions that have come up so everyone is aware and on the same page as we adapt to this important change in education.
What Not To Wear
Most folks are familiar with the TV show by that name. Many schools do their own version of what not to wear. They have a long list of clothing deemed inappropriate for school and spend a lot of time and energy monitoring how students are dressed every day. That is time unwisely spent, in our opinion—time that should be spent on the business of education.

It’s great to have weekends and vacations. We all need them! But what would you REALLY do if you didn’t go to school most days? Let’s face it, most students get a little bored just hanging around home. When was the last time you were at home and told your parents “there’s nothing to do”?
