Attendance is critical
Self-care is important – time management,
adequate sleep and eating habits.
Build relationships with your teachers.
Come to class on time, prepared, and pay
attention.
Do the classwork – you’ll have less
homework – study for tests.
When you don’t know – ask!
Use the resources available! – counselors,
teachers, tutoring and I-team – they are all
here to ensure your success.
How do we get there?
