General Tips for Parents (from one of the top schools in NY)
Jericho High School in Long Island is doing very well apparently. They also offer a wonderul variety of world languages!!! (Italian, French, Sign Language, Chinese, Latin, Spanish…We’re jealous!)
I like their website because it offers resources to parents in particular. Here are some great resources/tips! I’m particularly enamoured on the study habits section–we’re talking note-taking and test-taking skills. Let’s not ignore the social alerts, particularly concerning heroin, though. (Just because we live in a small town doesn’t mean that we are exempt from the dangers of drugs, depression and eating disorders.)
There are also some good links/information on transitioning into the world from IEPs etc.
Need programs at home and don’t want to spend money?
