April is the Month of the Military Child
and in honor of these amazing children
this newsletter will be focused on
resources to assist our children in a
multitude of areas. Our children first and
foremost want to have friends and
moving can be very hard on the social
aspect of their life and so Military Kids
Connect (www.militarykidsconnect.org)
was born. This is a social media site
designed to help military children ages 6-18 stay connected with other military
kids.
For children of all ages there is MilKidz
Club by Blue Star Families
(www.bluestarfam.org/milkidz-club). This
club was started to help our children
connect with other military children and
their families through blogging and
attending sporting events their honor.
Parents often hear school complaints
about everything from teacher issues to
classes to different grading systems.When an issue does arise parents can
turn to the School Liaison Office, Treva
Walter (678-3452), for assistance in
working out these issues out. Also
Military Children
Ombudsman News
become familiar with the InterState
Compact (www.mic3.net). These are se
guidelines that about 40 states have
agreed upon to ease the transition from
school to school for military children and
it ranges from immunizations to highschool exit exams. Another great
resource just for military kids is
tutor.com. School age children have
access 24 hours a day to an online tutor
for any subject.
There is an abundance of scholarship
and camp opportunities for military
children. These are always posted on
the Ombudsman FB page.
