MMNTM New Notes, Spring 2026
March 5 updates
If you take a look at our Calendar, you’ll see that the months have themes: January was about a strong start, February was about building momentum, and March is about the mid-semester dip. I can’t overstate the importance of keeping up the habits this month. To be clear, here’s what parents “should” do that will make a big difference in the end:
- Make sure your child is doing the daily plan, even if it’s not perfect.
- Make sure you are doing the weekly checkup with your child. It matters
- TimeZone Converter
- SNO Guide to do the Sunday Night Overhaul to maintain.
- DIP Plan Checklist
- The DIP Student Email Formula & Template
- The 15 EF Assessment from the beginning of the program, I recommend you do it again this March (midway)
