Things you should do this school year...
- Find and use organizational tools that work for you (planners, calendars, apps, etc.). Most students who struggle in 9th grade do so because they lack organization!
- Work hard in all your classes! Your grades truly matter now.
- Start off your HS career well, and get a grade point average that you will be proud of. You may think right now that you aren't college-bound...but that might change, so do things today to set yourself up for success tomorrow! Keep as many doors open as possible!
- Participate in extracurricular activities (sports, drama, band, clubs, etc.). These are the things that tend to make school more fun, and help you meet more friends!
- Be responsible for your own success (but ask for help when you need it!). There is more independence in high school, but there are lots of people to support you along the way, too.
