To consider as you work toward organizational, time management, and study strategies that work for you:

• Choose an organizational tool that you will be most likely to use. Writing in an agenda may work, or an app or online calendar or app may be more your style!
• In the front of your agenda, or as a note in your phone, create a table of important information at the beginning of each semester. Class Period, Teacher, Room, Teacher Email Address, Class Website (with code/password), and Times Available for Support.
• Set aside time each night to work. This time could include completing assignments, preparing for assessments, reviewing current progress, reviewing material with a friend, etc. This time doesn't need to be long, but taking a moment each evening to 'check in' on each class will really help!
• Create a checklist for yourself when you begin your work each night. A sample checklist might include:
  • Review agenda/calendar to create a to-do list for the evening or for the week
  • Review teacher websites to make any additions to your to-do list for the evening or for the week
  • Check PowerSchool to identify any late or missing assignments to add to the to-do list for the evening or for the week
  • PRIORITIZE your to-do list (consider due dates and weight of assignments when numbering your items)
  • Take a look at any large assignments to determine how they can be broken apart into smaller chunks that can be completed over time
  • Identify questions that you need to ask the next day to clarify your understanding
