It’s time to welcome students back to school! These are exciting times! A new school year is a FRESH START for everyone, but especially kids—a blank slate to define who they are and to set goals for this new chapter. Some kids may be making the transition from elementary to middle, which can be a big step. All kids will be making new friends and connecting with peers they haven’t seen all summer, allowing for new experiences, opportunities, and choices.

The holidays are not the same this year, but celebrating and relaxing at home, and starting new traditions, is a reset that we all need. We have all had to show resilience in a time of uncertainty this year. We have had to adapt to changing circumstances, and model responsibility...

Since 2003, Ask, Listen, Learn has supported parents and educators as they help kids say “YES” to a healthy lifestyle and “NO” to underage drinking.

We are thrilled to have brand-new resources to support educators and parents this year as they focus on having conversations with their kids about risky behaviors. We have always been...

We believe, that even though the classroom is new and different, the values that lead to success have not changed. Both adults and kids should practice ways to be adapt to these new situations, be flexible with schedules, discuss ways in which to be resilient when stressors are introduced, and work with intention towards goals, self-care, and balance.
