I encourage students to be proactive about their education. The following tips are helpful:

• Always use your agenda book
• Refer to Schoology for assignments and to message your teachers.
• Check your grades at least twice a week on Sapphire.
• Stay for Homework Club if needed.
• Use your time wisely.
• Stay organized. Clean out your locker, binders, and folders once a week.
• Have a clean, quiet place to work at home.
• Stick to a routine. Structure your time after school so you can do homework, eat dinner, do chores, take a break, and have some time for yourself.
• Prioritize tasks, especially schoolwork. Look at due dates and do the things that are due sooner first.
• Study for tests a little bit each night rather than cramming the night before. Using highlighters, different colored pens, and flashcards help information stick!
• Know what kind of learner you are: audio, visual, or kinesthetic (hands-on). Study in ways that match your learning style.
