Home For The Holidays
As students head home for winter break when final exams are finished, some students may have
concerns about family issues and how they will adjust to routines back at home. It is important to discuss
expectations with your student before they return home for winter break. Prepare yourself and others
because the student who returns may not be the student you sent off to college. It may help to renegotiate
curfew hours and family responsibilities. This time is an adjustment for everyone as your family grows and
changes during your student’s GW journey. When they first arrive home after exams, they will want to see
you and their friends, eat homemade food, sleep, and decompress after a challenging semester. Enjoy
quality time with your students over winter break and make special holiday memories!
