Tips For Success
- Learn to make good long-term choices – counselors can help.
- Have a daily homework schedule and stick to it.
- Limit screen time
- Get involved in something. Research shows students who are involved have better grades.
- Get enough rest – Middle school students should aim for 9-10 hrs of sleep per night
- Do not allow phones in bedrooms at night – if your student says they need it for the alarm, get them an alarm clock. You would be amazed at the number of texts we’re shown that happen at 2:30 am. Most texts at that time are not good.
- It’s ok for your student to struggle some. They learn they are capable and how to solve problems.
- If your student can’t remember an assignment, most teachers use Schoology or some other system to post it online.
- Students – it’s ok to ask your teachers for help. It’s ok to ask counselors for help too!
