Family Calendar and Tips of the Month

Tips and Conversation Starters: June

Tips of the Month

  • Connect with us! It might be summer, but the Parent + Family Programs team is still here to answer your questions and help you feel prepared for the coming year.
  • Encourage your student to check their UC San Diego email. Students receive important emails about the coming academic year over the summer, many of which require action on the part of your student. 
  • Families of graduating students: plan for commencement!
  • Celebrate the close of another academic year! Congratulate your student for a job well done. Now is also a great time to reflect on the year: what went well? What is your student excited about for next year? Are there any changes they want to make or new things they want to try?

Conversation Starters

  • How are you staying in touch with your friends over the summer? 
  • How have you changed and grown since the beginning of the year?
  • What’s something you’d like to do over the summer as a family?
