With
the costs of college going up and up, it is never to soon to start
academic and financial planning. In my personal and professional
opinion, it is a must to start now if you haven't already. The Texas
initiative
http://www.achievetexas.org/ will
inform you of the measures being taken by the state and school
districts to encourage and facilitate action on the part of the student
in preparation for high school, college and the workforce.
www.texasgearup.org and
www.GenTx.org Your
8th grade student will be involved in activities that follow the
Achieve Texas guidelines. Please don't hesitate to contact me
bhardy@nisdtx.org
or 817-215-0604 for any questions you may have about your child's
academic or emotional growth. I will gladly spend as much time as you
need to assist with your child's planning.
