Hi Neighbor!
Happy 2023! It’s a new year, a clean slate! It’s an opportunity for a fresh start.

Happy New Year! Five Resolutions Students Probably Won’t Keep… and How Hill Top Can Help!
1. Use that new planner.
2. Turn in assignments on time.
3. Try a new activity.
4. Prepare for midterms early.
5. Keep all your resolutions.
We all struggle with New Year's resolutions. In fact, studies show that more than 90% of people abandon their resolutions by year's end. Neurodiverse students are statistically more inclined to struggle with executive functioning, goal setting, and time management. The good news is that understanding these challenges is the superpower for managing them.
Hill Top Preparatory School is a 5th- through 12th-grade independent school right here on the Mainline for students with neurodiverse learning differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing, and executive dysfunction. The curriculum is designed to teach students to manage executive functioning challenges in real-time with social and emotional programming built into a challenging academic curriculum.
