Retention Prevention: What You Need to Know Before Standardized Testing

Standardized testing season is about to begin. With the Georgia Milestones right around the corner, schools are already starting to think about who is at risk of failure. Is your child on your school's radar for retention? Now is the time to develop a plan.

In this free workshop, you will learn:

• How to communicate with your child's teachers and school about their progress.
• The statistics that show that retention is not always the best option.
• Your rights as your child's advocate.
• What you can do to get your child the help they need in school and outside of school (including what you can do at home).
