TEN TIPS FOR SCHOOL SUCCESS:

  1. As you come into the classroom, READ THE BOARD and make sure you have all MATERIALS needed for class.
  2. LISTEN attentively (eye contact, no talking, tapping, fidgeting, etc.)
  3. Use class time wisely - STAY ON TASK.
  4. Ask questions - GET INVOLVED.
  5. Carefully copy assignments in your PLANNER.

 6. Do all HOMEWORK and CLASS WORK ON TIME.

 7. Study for all TESTS & QUIZZES.

 8. Set aside time every night for HOMEWORK.

 9. If ABSENT, call a "STUDY BUDDY" and check the assignment clipboard, or with the teacher when you return.  Make up the work as soon as possible.

 10. Stay ORGANIZED. Go through your BINDER and check POWERSCHOOL at least once each week. Complete unfinished work and turn it in.
