Is it just us or did the summer months pass by quickly? We know the past school year wasn’t easy and it may have built up some back-to-school worries for parents, students, and teachers. Just like last year, we approach the school year with precaution and optimism. Kumon of Lowell wants to help you make the most of the school year by sharing six suggestions.

• Write down your wishes for this upcoming year
• Plan ahead and stay organized
• Clear up an area to study at home
• Try to join school clubs or try out for a sports team
• Reach out to your teachers
• Always remember: It's okay to make mistakes 

At the orientation, you'll find out how Kumon's unique approach to learning can help your kids:

• Master math and reading, often helping them earn their best grades ever
• Build study skills such as confidence, focus and work ethic
• Reduce homework stress and test anxiety

Your kids will complete a placement test that will give you:

• Valuable insights into where they stand in their learning
• A recommended progression path that shows what your kids can achieve in their first six months of Kumon

The instructor will prepare an individualized lesson plan for your kids and support them as they progress through Kumon.
