Ready, Set, Learn! Now that the school year is in full swing, it is important to continue to establish healthy habits for your child’s consistency and growth throughout the school year. Here are some tips to ensure that your student is set up for success all year long: 📓 Find a tutor: a tutor can help your student develop exam strategies, complete assignments, and form good study habits. 📝 Review challenging material: reviewing challenging material with your child can help them feel more confident about the subject matter. Knowing that you support them can positively impact your student’s overall learning success. 🗓️ Set goals: set both short-term and long-term goals with your child. They can be academic and personal goals. Establish a reward system for reaching those goals. When students have something to look forward to, they are driven to succeed even more! We hope these tips will help your learner soar both in and out of the classroom. Best wishes for a healthy and productive academic year! #RaisingAVillage #ItTakesAVillage #StudentSuccess

As we enter the new school year, we want our students to return refreshed, prepared and ready to take on another successful academic school year! Here are a few tips for parents to get your child ready to learn: 📚 Get organized: tidy up your child’s study space, sort out school supplies, and prepare their bookbags and uniforms. ⏰ Establish a routine: routines can help your child stay on track, better manage their time, and meet their goals; work with your learner to establish a routine that sets them up for success before and after school. 🚍 Get to know the school: attend family days, orientations, and back to school nights with your child so you can get to know the school and their teachers. Welcome back to all our students, parents, faculty, and administrators. Here’s to another year of learning success! #RaisingAVillage #ItTakesAVillage #StudentSuccess

As summer comes to an end and the new school year begins, we would like to share a few highlights from our D2S Summer Acceleration program. Students at Hart Middle School and Dunbar High School enjoyed engaging intensives centered around college and career readiness, interactive games, and snack breaks which gave them the opportunity to foster new friendships. “My most memorable project was building a resume for my favorite superhero,” said one participant. “Everyone was nice and I wish it didn’t have to end.” Special thanks to our D2S Summer Acceleration team: Jaylen, Sarai, Angelica, and Samirah. Your impact continues to support our mission to Reach, Teach, and Inspire the next generation of leaders. 📚🍎✏️ #RaisingAVillage #ItTakesAVillage #SummerAcceleration

As we continue to share statistics from our 2023-2024 Annual Report, we were excited to find that every one of our school partners agreed that D2S tutoring was valuable to their students’ growth and development. In a recent human-interest story about the effects of high impact tutoring which aired on NBC News4 Washington, it was revealed that students reach their assignment benchmarks at a much higher rate with tutoring assistance. Also, the use of high impact tutoring in schools has decreased absenteeism by 7% and reduced the gap in students who were below grade level from 60% to 40%. RAVF continues to stay at the forefront of the uphill battle for student success! If you would like to join our team as a near peer tutor and mentor, log on to https://lnkd.in/encCKAhZ and apply today. #RaisingAVillage #ItTakesAVillage

In 2023, Raising A Village was named a supporting education champion by the National Partnership for Student Success (NPSS); an initiative founded by the Biden/Harris administration to close the learning divide caused by the global pandemic. As a part of this initiative, RAVF photos of the D2S program in action have been featured on the NPSS website and social media platforms. Also, RAVF Directors have been able to share invaluable information with the NPSS coalition about our “boots on the ground” strategy for supporting student success!
