Academic Resources

As we enter this chapter of education, we are faced with new challenges. Here are some tips to be sure you're a successful online learner:

• Attend Your Online Classes: 80% of life is showing up.

• Participate: staying engaged helps you stay focused.

• Stay Organized: keep your planner or Google calendar updated and refer to it often. Missing deadlines is a surefire way to struggle in school.

• Check Your Email Regularly: Your email is your connection to school. Neglecting it will lead you to fall behind.

• Manage Your Time: Prioritize your assignments, get your work done before play, and don't procrastinate!

• Hold Yourself Accountable: Figure out how to motivate yourself. You won't have your teacher standing over you to keep you on task.

• Follow Instructions: Make sure you read the assignment directions and understand them before diving in. Get it done right the first time.

• Ask For Help: Don't be afraid to ask your teacher or the SSC for some help. The dumbest question is the one you don't ask!
