Parent Resources on the Common Core Standards (Updated)

Image of a book

A critical component of a student’s success in school is dependent on what and how they learn at home. The Toolkit for Parents and Families is a collection of materials and resources that will help parents and families understand the New York State education reform initiatives and how the changes will help your child graduate from high school ready for college and careers. We encourage parents and families to use these tools in conjunction with resources and information you receive from your child’s school and teachers. We will continue to build upon this toolkit as we receive feedback from educators and families.

You can find the toolkit and other resources here: http://engageny.org/parent-and-family-resources

Conversely, they might seem lazy because the days are getting longer and due to the extra sunlight, it is harder to fall to sleep at night. If you have older children, they may even be experiencing anxiety due to the change to come. The end of a school year signifies the beginning of a new time in their lives, and the pressures that go with that can be overwhelming sometimes.
