The first weeks of school offer a critical opportunity to set the stage for your student’s success. Expert educators from diverse school districts around the country who are part of our new Harmony Educator Advisory Group have been making a difference in the lives of their students, their families, fellow teachers, and their school communities for decades—and we’re sharing their encouragement, advice and practical tips with families this school year in our Key Steps for a Successful School Year Toolkit.
This isn’t your average back-to-school guide filled with to-dos, shopping tips and been-there-done-that checklists. We’re sharing the foundational steps to help parents and caregivers set children up for a healthy, happy and productive school year.
In this resource, you’ll find tools to help your child build strong relationships, strengthen their sense of belonging at school, and feel seen and understood in a way that supports their overall wellness and mental health.
Harmony Academy at National University taps into decades of research and anecdotal evidence from hundreds of educators to improve children’s self-confidence, relationships, and sense of inclusion—foundational factors in their ability to learn and succeed academically and thrive outside of school. We’re excited for you to dive into this toolkit and make it a great year for your family!
Special thanks to our educators who contributed to the toolkit:
