ACADEMICS

Check out the following items to help guarantee success academically:

Attend Regularly!

Students that are successful miss fewer than 10 days per year. If you do have to miss class, be sure to ask your teachers for make-up work or tests when you come back!

Prepare for Class!

Every homework assignment counts in your learning.  Never miss assignments.  Take your student planner to every class. Bring books home to study.  There is a difference between studying and doing homework. Practice-Practice Practice! Studying means reading, taking notes, reviewing notes, and developing a deep understanding of the content. 

Get Involved!

Use this pamphlet to get to know what activities are available and whom to contact. Teachers will often ask students to help on special projects.  Volunteer in class! Participate in group discussions!

Listen to Daily Announcements!

Many special activities occur that you won’t want to miss. Each morning announcements are read.  You can also find information on our Scout newsletter on Fridays.
