New Huskies & Families 2025

New Huskies & Families for Autumn 2025

During the quarter, this is a great time to be an active listener and wait for your students to give you an update about how their quarter is going. Let them lead the conversation when sharing their grades, and their progress.

Encourage your Huskies to meet with tutoring and academic advisors before their first midterms. Have they met with anyone in Academic Support Programs? If not, share this the Study Skills Quiz, where students get individualized resource recommendations based on their needs.

Join our official New Families 2025 official Facebook group is available, where we are able to verify your student’s status!
