9. What is a S.M.A.R.T. Goal? Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic
Timely
TELL PARENTS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO: Goals are at the center of APTT!
Setting goals help us stay on track to improvement. In order to stay on track we have to be specific about how we are going to do the work and how often we are going to do the activities. Every student is different, your child’s goal may be different from the goals of other students, that is okay. We just need to see measurable improvement.
Please use your bar graph to guide your goal setting.
You should practice activities at least four times per week to see measurable improvement, the more your child practices the activities, the sooner you will meet your goal.
It is okay to practice over the weekend. Students need to stay busy. Make practice fun for the whole family.

We will share the first quarter report card.
We will plan future targets for your student.
