Some students have been at college for almost a month now. Families are making plans for the official family weekend soon but in the meantime, here is a wonderful article by Monica Matthews about ways we can connect with our college students throughout the year. I am getting my pen and stationery out now to write both my daughter and son a note.
Do you have a junior or senior in high school? I do and I am excited to start exploring with my youngest son as he begins the college process. We are always searching out helping tools and techniques to help families as they start the college planning process. Take a look at these two posts from Almost Empty Nest and Yayas2Cents for helpful college application tips.
