## Resource

It’s the final academic push of the year, and around campus our students know what that means: it’s time to “lock in.” In this week’s episode of In the Middle With You , Tammy and Gaia sit down with EJ Edinburgh , one of our academic tutors, to talk about how students can finish the year strong. EJ shares practical strategies to help middle schoolers stay focused, manage their workload, and build study habits that set them up for success as the year wraps up. Caregivers will also gain insight into how our academic support team is working with students every day to help them stay organized, motivated, and confident in the classroom. If your student needs a little encouragement (or a plan!) for these final weeks, this episode is packed with helpful tips and perspective. And as always, don’t miss a few quick community updates—including Parent Coffee this Friday at 9am . We’d love to see you there! Hosted by: Gaia Altshuler - Social Emotional Counselor Tammy Kuku - Vice Principal Editing and Engineering by: Tyler Erickson - Educational Technologist
