Trimester 3 → Finishing In Style
Trimester 3 → Finishing In Style
The 2024-2025 school year has been full of positive culture and student success. At Leading Edge, we remain committed to our academic goals until the very end of the year. Let’s keep motivating, supporting, and holding our students to high standards—we know they can continue improving their math and reading scores until the very last day!
As we enter Trimester 3, here are five ways parents can support their students and help them set goals for a strong finish:
Encourage Daily Reading & Math Practice – Even 15-20 minutes of reading and math skill review each day can make a significant difference in retention and growth.
Check Grades & Assignments Regularly – Stay informed through our online gradebook to help your child stay on top of their work and avoid last-minute stress.
Set Clear, Achievable Goals – Work with your child to set specific academic and personal goals for the trimester, such as improving a grade or mastering a new skill.
Maintain a Consistent Routine – Ensure your child gets enough sleep, has a quiet space for homework, and follows a structured schedule to build productive habits.
Celebrate Progress & Effort – Recognize hard work and growth, not just grades, to keep students motivated and engaged in their learning journey.
