Another Senior Survey

The Medfield High School faculty developed the Vision of the Graduate to go along with our mission statement and core values. Please see our Vision of the Graduate statement here:

Medfield High School envisions a graduate who is an active and reflective member of their community. Students will graduate with the ability to think critically and communicate effectively using technology skillfully and ethically. They will pair these academic skills with empathy and resilience to be prepared for adulthood. Students will be able to balance responsibilities with their physical and social-emotional well being. Students will also show a willingness to take risks, and understand mistakes are part of the journey of a lifelong learner.

Now as graduating seniors, we want your feedback on how these skills are integrated in MHS. Based on the variables and skills listed above, please give us your thoughts on how these skills have translated to your overall readiness to succeed in whatever your chosen next step may be.

Please complete this quick survey here.

Starting a Planning Practice

Maintaining structure can work wonders for your mental well-being. Routines help you increase your sense of control and defuse feelings of overwhelm.

Planning Tips

• Schedule regular breaks. Take time to mindfully drink your tea or focus on your breathing – here’s a great website you can bookmark from Calm.

• Write a weekly goals list. Identify what you need to do to achieve your weekly goals. Break tasks down into smaller steps and cross them off as you go to maintain a sense of progress throughout the day.

• Identify 1-3 “Most Important Tasks”. Creating a daily MIT list helps you prioritize your most important and urgent tasks.

• Review your crossed off items at the end of the day. Taking stock of your achievements can help boost mental well-being.

• Try a to do list app. You may prefer a digital format such as Google Keep.

• Experiment with productivity techniques such as The Pomodoro Technique and Eat The Frog.

• Write your daily to do list the night before. You might find that being able to start work straight away helps increase your productivity. Also, this practice can help you clear your mind and switch off in the evening.

• Tidy your workspace at the end of the day. Research finds that cluttered environments interfere with your ability to focus.

• Decide on a regular sleep schedule. When it comes to improving sleep, research suggests that maintaining a regular sleep schedule is of high importance.

• Create an end of work day ritual. To enforce work-life boundaries, you might find it helpful to create an end of day ritual such as changing into comfier clothes, switching off work email notifications and putting on some music.

• Create weekly family traditions. Strengthen family routines through traditions such as “Board Game Fridays” and “Movie Night Mondays”. Find more advice and resources for setting up a family routine here, here and here.

• Be kind to yourself. You might suddenly have a lot more on your plate. Be mindful of your inner critic, and remind yourself that you can only do the best you can.
