Good Advice Concerning Dress Up Days
1. Have a change of clothes with you. - If you are inappropriately dressed you must
a) fix it quickly b) go to ISS or home for the day
2. Have a questionable outfit planned?- Try it on, take a picture, ask some teachers if it’s ok
Academic Success
To do well in school you need:1. To know what is expected of you
a) Know when tests will be givenb) Know what material will be on the tests
2. Know your gradesUse parent portal to look up grades
3. Know how to improve grades if they are low
Tip 1: Study Daily
• Every single study of academic success shows that students who commit some time every day to studying -- reading, writing, reviewing, etc. -- perform at a much higher level than those who study in larger chunks, and much better than those who cram.
• Studying daily builds and increases your knowledge base for the long-term -- assuming you are studying actively rather than passively.
• Active studying means practicing involving behaviors, such as creating outlines, developing flash cards, participating in study groups, rewriting notes, etc.
Tip 2: Know the Teacher• Put another way, make sure your professor knows you. It's
amazing how many students choose to be anonymous in the classroom.
• You don't have to become best buddies with your teacher-- and we are not advocating the "kiss-up" strategy either. This tip is about you moving beyond being an anonymous name or number to being an actual person -- whom the teacher recognizes.
• Visit the teacher during his/her planning period. The benefits of this strategy are enormous because you'll get the help you need as well as often getting some insider information -- and there's even something termed the "halo effect," which deals with the concept that a professor grades more leniently when s/he grades an assignment of a student s/he knows (and respects).
Tip 3: Read Actively
• Active reading means doing more than just reading. For some people, it means underlining, highlighting, or annotating the materials.
• Others develop a list of keywords and summarize materials as they read. Still others continually quiz themselves and try to put the information in a different context that helps them better understand it and retain it.
