Thursday, May 24 marks the last in this school year’s series of parent meetings, sponsored by the Lopez Island Family Resource Center and the Lopez Island Prevention Coalition.

Nancy Coolidge will be speaking at this meeting about how to help students avoid summer learning loss during the break from school. Coolidge is the author of “Good Habits … Great Grades,” and she is a respected columnist, radio personality, classroom teacher, and director of several Sylvan Learning Centers.

Coolidge will discuss how to help students maintain, and even build their academic skills and study habits. She will also include tools on how to help students stay organized and accountable. Coolidge will direct her presentation to parents/guardians of students of all ages.

This parent meeting will be at the Grace Church Fellowship Hall on Thursday May 24, 5:30-7 p.m. A light meal will be provided, as well as on-site childcare. Please let the Resource Center know in advance if childcare will be needed so arrangements can be made.
