SuMMeR IS THe beST TIMe To PReP FoR THe ACT® And SAT®.

It’s a question asked by the parents of high schoolers every year—when should my son or daughter start prepping for the ACT or SAT? It may seem like a loaded question with lots of things to consider, but the answer is actually a simple one. The best time for students to prep is during the summer.

Here are the reasons why: 1. More time to prep = less stress. Summer prep means students don’t have to split their time between schoolwork and prep. It’s a less stressful way to get ready for the exam.

2. Test early and get it done. Once a student has the score they want, they never have to worry about the ACT or SAT again. Depending on a student’s schedule, they could be finished with the exams by September or October!

3. Flexible schedules. Summer means students can prep in the morning, afternoon or evening—whatever works best for them! The variety of schedule options available also makes it easy to work around vacations and summer jobs.

4. Having test scores can help with exploring options.

Having their test scores can help students narrow their college choices and figure out what else is needed to make sure they have the strongest possible application.

Scores may also be important for scholarship opportunities.

5. For rising seniors, this is their last chance to prep.

Many college applications are due at the end of the calendar year. This means that seniors need to take the exam early in the school year in order to get their scores back in time.

Gold Coast Arts Center Gearing Up For Summer Arts Camp 2016 Although spring has just arrived and school is still in session, there’s no better time than the present to begin planning fun, exciting and educational activities for the summer at the Gold Coast Arts Center’s Summer Arts Camp. SummerArts brings fun and creative experiences to children of all ages. With activities like cartooning, chess camp, music, 3D Arts and so much more—the GCAC is offering specialty camps taught by top artists and performers. Parents can choose one- or two-week camp programs.

Each weekly program culminates in a performance, competition or exhibit at the end for parents and friends to enjoy. Children can be signed up for as many sessions as they wish, with kosher and nut-free lunch and snack options included.

In the brand new Crafts Camp (July 5-8), children can make creations beyond their wildest dreams.

At Musical Theatre Camp (July 11-22), they’ll explore and create their own renditions of contemporary and theatrical hits with daily classes in voice, basic music, and dance to help

them experience the thrill of performing on stage.

With Acting for Film (July 25-29), they can learn acting techniques for theatre and film by working on scenes recorded on film, and be able to take home a DVD where they are the star.

Drawing & Painting (Aug. 1-5) will allow them to have fun with their art using inspiration from nature and the world around them.

Through Music (instruments, vocal) (Aug. 8-12) they can experience guitar, keyboard percussion and vocal training. All levels are welcome.

Work with wood, papier-mâché and wire at 3-Dimensional Art (Aug. 15-19), show off what they’ve learned in competitive games at the end of the week at Chess Camp (Aug. 22-26), and imagine characters and explore their creativity through drawing in Cartooning (Aug. 22-26).

Parents can also choose any two weeks of the six offered in Ceramics Camp (July 5-Aug. 12) where children will learn hand-building, sculpture and innovative glazing techniques and for the younger kids (pre-K through

6th grade) there’s also Half-Day Junior Camp where daily activities include art, dance, music and more.

It seems there’s a creative activity for just about any child willing to try something new or continue to pique their interest and develop their skills.

With such a wide array of fun, engaging, and stimulating Summer

3B

Arts Camps at the Gold Coast Arts Center this July and August (on weekdays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.), every child will be thrilled with the new skills they learn and imaginative ways they can develop their talents while having fun and making friends along the way.

BOCES Students Earn Math Medals Six students from the Nassau BOCES Doshi STEM Institute earned medals in the final round of the Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair at Hofstra University recently. In preparation for the fair, the teenage mathematicians conducted extensive research on advanced mathematical concepts and presented them at the institute’s math fair. Competitors at the fair were required to defend and explain their research before a panel of judges consisting of teachers, college professors and other professionals through PowerPoint presentations, posters and other materials.

“By participating in this Math Fair, our students get to go head-to-head with top Math students across Long Island,” says Jack Lenson, interim principal of Nassau BOCES Doshi STEM Institute. “The work they put into their presentations demonstrates their command of mathematical research and conceptual thinking.”

Nassau BOCES Doshi STEM Institute silver medalists and their presentations are: • Jack Cecere, Malverne UFSD, “The Math Behind a Rubik’s Cube”

• Nabil Chowdhury, Hicksville UFSD, “Exploration of the Frog Puzzle and Variances” • Manpreet Kaur, Hicksville UFSD, “The Mathematics Behind Ice Skating” • Sonali Malhotra, Hicksville UFSD, “The Mathematics in Structural Design” Nassau BOCES Doshi STEM Institute bronze medalists and their presentations are: • Nelson Chow, Malverne UFSD, “Math Involved in Swimming” • Michal Lewkowicz, Hicksville UFSD, “Gravity” The Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair is a gateway for students interested in the mathematics field to delve into topics outside of the

conventional mathematics curriculum. It also allows for elite students to be granted the opportunity to create innovative mathematics for themselves and others. The Math

Fair also gives students the opportunity to cultivate their “math power,” and the ability to investigate one topic and have the confidence to defend their work.

The IEP Meeting: An Overview

BY KRISTIN STANBERRY specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

If your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), you and the rest of his IEP team will meet at least once a year to sit down together and make sure the IEP meets your child’s needs.

The IEP needs to be revised as your child makes progress and faces new challenges, and as new instruction techniques and technology become available.

If this is your first IEP meeting, you and the rest of the team will develop your child’s first IEP. After that, you’ll meet every year to update and revise the IEP to reflect his current strengths and needs. (A new, thorough evaluation is required every three years unless you and the school agree it isn’t necessary.)

into effect when your child turns 16.

(Your child may attend meetings even earlier if you think it is appropriate.

Early participation can help build self-advocacy skills.)

A team member can be excused if both you and the school agree to it.

Otherwise, the team should reschedule the meeting for a time when everyone can be present.

You can invite someone who understands your child’s needs (such as a health-care provider) to attend the IEP meeting. You also can ask a friend or advocate. It can be helpful to have an extra set of eyes and ears in the room. Let the school know about any guests ahead of time.

you well before the meeting.

The draft is a work in progress. You have the right to suggest changes during the meeting.

Every IEP meeting should cover these key aspects: •Present level of performance (PLOP): The team leader will write a statement about your child’s current levels of academic and functional performance (social, behavioral and motor skills, for example) and goals.

This is based on data (like test scores) and observations from you and other team members.

•Annual goals: The team reviews what progress your child has made

Who Attends the IEP Meeting?

You and the rest of your child’s IEP team attend every IEP meeting. The team includes: •You: Parents take an active role in all IEP meetings.

•At least one of your child’s general education teachers (unless your child doesn’t work with general education teachers).

•At least one special education teacher or other special education provider.

•A school district representative knowledgeable about general education and special education. This representative has the power to commit school resources for your child.

•A school psychologist or other specialist who can interpret your child’s first (or most recent) evaluation and test results.

•Your child, starting when the IEP team begins to develop the transition plan for life after high school. This plan will be part of the IEP that goes

Anyone who can’t attend in person can participate by conference call or video chat. Be sure to tell the IEP team leader in advance if you or a guest will need a phone or video connection.

What Is Discussed and Decided at the IEP Meeting?

The IEP developed during the meeting is considered a draft IEP. Some schools create this in advance and then share it at the IEP meeting.

If your child’s school creates the draft ahead of time, ask them to send it to

toward meeting his annual goals.

Then together you develop new or revised goals for the coming year.

It’s important for annual goals to be specific, measurable and tailored to your child.

•Individualized supports and services: The team discusses how well your child’s accommodations, modifications and specialized instruction are working. Then you and the team update the supports and services to match your child’s PLOP and new annual goals.

If it seems like the team is

proposing “one size fits all” strategies, remind them that the IEP should reflect your child’s individual strengths and needs. If you don’t understand something or need clarification, speak up. This is your best chance all year to communicate with the whole team.

Wrapping Up the IEP Meeting and Next Steps The team leader will note any changes to the IEP that the team has agreed to during the meeting. This will become a draft version of the new IEP. If you’re not ready to sign all or part of the new IEP, you have the right to take it home to think about it. You can also ask when the new IEP will go into effect and how long you have to make a decision.

When the meeting is over (or when you agree to the new IEP), don’t simply file it and forget it. The IEP will guide your child’s day-to-day education for the next year. Get ready to monitor how it plays out.

At a Glance •The annual IEP meeting is the time to review, revise and update your child’s IEP. •Every element of the IEP should be covered during the meeting.

•It’s important that the IEP meeting focus on your child as an individual.

Key Takeaways •It’s crucial that the IEP team consider your questions, insights and observations.

•If a team member can’t attend, they can join remotely or you can postpone the meeting.

•You can invite guests to support you or provide information about your child.

Keeping Kids’ Sports Costs Under Control

BY NATHANIEL SILLIN specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Most parents put countless miles on the car driving kids back and forth from various practices and games throughout elementary and secondary school.

As for the actual dollars behind all that driving and purchasing of uniforms, equipment, lessons and various activity fees, the numbers are pretty eye-opening. A 2014 study by the Utah State University’s Families in Sport Lab (www.usufamiliesinsportlab.com) shows that the average annual family financial investment in youth sports came out to $2,292.42, or 1.84 percent of that family’s gross annual income.

Other research done within the program indicates that many parents spend much more—some in excess of 10 percent of their gross annual income.

Whether that figure sounds low or high depends on your child’s chosen sport and the number of years your child participates in it.

Whether your child’s interest in sports is temporary or a long-term commitment, it’s not only important to plan and budget what you’re spending, but to find ways to save.

Here are some steps to begin: Link up with other parents.

Whether it’s after-school or weekend soccer, hockey or baseball, your first source of intelligence is with parents who already have kids playing the sport. Discuss everything from the best program for your child overall to individual costs and fees associated with play and don’t forget to ask them how they’ve kept their budget in line.

Schedule for the best discounts.

Don’t miss any opportunities for sales on merchandise or discounts on training and activity fees. Paying early on merchandise, sports camp or pre-season activity fees can save significant money over time. Above all, avoid late registration fees on all sports and activities.

Make sure your child’s health insurance is adequate. Depending on what sport your child plays, you may end up buying additional coverage beyond what your family health insurance allows. It takes virtually no time for a night or two in the hospital to run into tens of thousands of dollars, so take every step to make sure your child has the right coverage. Some health insurers may sell special sports coverage for minors, but if your child is playing an organized sport within

a school system or league, they may have their own insurance requirements before they allow your child to play. There may be other coverage options as well; run those options by your qualified financial experts or fellow parents who are insuring their children against sports injuries.

Buy multiple sizes and neutral colors and styles. If you’ve got a growing child who is likely to maintain interest in a particular sport over several seasons, stock up on clothing in different sizes and go for

neutral colors and styles that allow for gender-neutral hand-me-downs.

Negotiate shared transportation and group fees when possible.

Again, in partnership with other parents or your school system, see if there are cheaper ways to travel, buy gear and find play and practice space.

Always be on the lookout for cheaper options, and set up a network either by email or social media where there’s a free flow of spending tips and discounts that might come in handy.

As for lessons, try the classroom

approach. If your child wants to improve in a sport, work with other parents to hire an instructor who will do group lessons; that will ensure a lower cost per family.

Bottom line: Even if your child doesn’t grow up with the natural skill of a Manning brother or a Williams sister, it’s possible to introduce them to youth athletics without ruining your family finances.
