For Students
Best Practices for Back To School
- Get enough rest. Teenagers require more sleep than adults, but often have trouble sleeping. Have a regular routine, and eliminate sleep distractions (turn off the phone).
- Eat a good breakfast. You can't run at top efficiency on an empty tank.
- Come to school prepared. Do your homework and have it ready for the next day.
- Try something new this year. A sport, club or activity is a excellent way to get more out of high school, develop new skills, and meet new people.
- Put the past behind you. One of the great opportunities in high school is that every year is a new start. Don't let last year's challenges keep you from making the most of this year. You have a "Do Over"--don't waste it!
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. High school is a learning experience. No one knows it all. Your teachers, counselor, and Student Services Coordinator and director are here for you.
