The Crenshaw Academy Blog
As parents, we are constantly seeking the best education for our children. We want to provide them with every opportunity to thrive academically and personally. In this quest, many of us find ourselves considering alternatives to traditional public schools, such as private institutions.
Private schools, often renowned for their rigorous academic programs, small class sizes, and personalized approach to learning, can provide an enriched educational environment for students.
The Crenshaw Academy has partnered with Sandy Hook Promise for the 2023 Hello Week. The week is based on the thought that small but powerful actions can promote inclusion and kindness. Our Start With Hello program teaches students in grades K-12 to build connections, end loneliness, and help each other.

"Research has proven that Sandy Hook Promise’s Know the Signs programs effectively teach youth and adults how to prevent school violence, shootings, and other harmful acts.

Like adults, children face a great deal of stress in their lives, especially during the school year. And as much as we want to tell them that we understand their stress because we went through the same thing, times change, and our experiences are not the same.
We can empathize and try to understand, but that’s the best we can offer when comparing our stressful childhood events surrounding the school to theirs.
Sometimes, summer feels like a welcome break from school. It can feel like a necessity and that it can’t come soon enough. Do you feel like the school year is a hectic, frenetic fight to try to keep your children on track? As summer draws to an end and the new school year rapidly approaches, do you wish there could be a better way?
Establishing a routine for the school year is key to helping your kids stay ahead of their schoolwork, improve performance, and potentially even enjoy learning. Here are seven key tips for establishing an effective school routine.
Crisp mornings, auburn leaves, and shorter days mean one thing- the holiday season is just around the corner. For parents, this is a notorious season of stress. There are gatherings to coordinate, an abundance of shopping to finish, and it truly wouldn’t be the holiday season without battling a crowd here and there.
For students, however, this is a season filled with daily countdowns until school break and pure excitement. Once holiday-themed assignments are paired with the preparation for class parties, it becomes increasingly harder to keep students focused on their academics.
Parents do everything they can to make sure their kids have the best life. We want to make sure our children have everything we didn’t have and grow into responsible, kind adults. Parents make dozens of decisions every day. Many of those decisions feel like they might have substantial impacts on their futures.
What should they eat? What should they wear? How much should we put in college savings? What sports should they play? The list of questions we have to answer is endless. One of the biggest concerns we have is figuring out how to keep them safe.
Whether it’s fall, winter, spring, or summer break, it can seem like a chore to get back into the school groove. Summer may be especially tough because of the longer amount of time a student has out of the regular school routine.
It’s always nice to have a break, or a vacation, where there are few responsibilities, and you can relax. Your child can still enjoy all of that while also setting themselves up for success when it comes to having to return back to school.
