Be a Learning Hero...

 
PTA parents, want to know how to help your child and about the changes happening in classrooms across the country? Do you want tips to help your child prepare for the upcoming state test?  Learning Heroes can help! Learning Heroes just released their Family Playbook which is designed to ensure that parents have the information and resources at their fingertips to get ready for the upcoming state test. The guide provides basic facts on what to expect, tips and tools for helping your child prepare and links to the practice test so you can become familiar with the types of questions that will be asked. Learning Heroes mission is to equip parents with the information they need from partners such as National PTA to support your child at home. For more information and personalized tools visit BeALearningHero.org
