New year, new goals. Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals with your student is a great way to set the intention for the new year. An opportunity to have a conversation with your child about their hopes, dreams, and goals.

Maybe your student wants to become a better reader. Perhaps your student has fitness goals they would like to achieve. Possibly your student would love to earn a certain grade in a specific class, make the honor roll, learn to play their instrument better, get more involved in school activities, make a difference in the community, and more.

As our break wraps up today, carve out some time to talk with your child about their hopes, goals, and dreams for their future. Remember to write down SMART goals together so you can help each other stay accountable.

S—Specific

M—Measurable

A—Achievable

R—Realistic/Relevant

T—Time-bound

We are excited to see our students back on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, and cannot wait to see all the wonderful things they learn, create, achieve, and become in 2022 with your help and ours.

Happy New Year, Putnam!
