Arrive about 10 minutes early to get yourself situated.
Print out your rotating schedule on paper. If you are unable to do that, write it down in period order or keep a photo of it. Try not to keep your phone open in school hallways!
Don't be afraid to ask a teacher or another student where a classroom is -- wandering aimlessly just holds up traffic.

2 years (2.0 credits) of the same foreign language
1 semester (0.5 credits) of Computer Science
Toggle the Classes and Requirements page to learn more about what credits you need to graduate.
Email your respective guidance counselor to schedule an appoint -- you cannot enter guidance without an appointment!
If you are unsure who your guidance counselor is, toggle the main "Student Center" page and reference the dropdown.
If you are currently failing the quarter (64.9 or less), that does not mean that you won't pass the class at the end of the year.
However, if you fail the class, you need at least a final grade of 44 or higher to take it in the summer.
If you get less than that then you will have to retake the class the next academic year.
No AirPods/headphones/phones in the hallways
No phones during lunch
Walk with a purpose in the hallways -- there are other people in the hallways as well!
If you are unsure where you are going, do not walk slowly in the hallways; go into the nearest classroom and ask a teacher where a certain classroom is.
Don't leave it up to your midterm/final exam grades to pass a class; keep your grades moderate!
Don't procrastinate -- you will most likely end up forgetting.
