Tips to be successful in high school:
- Use the student planner daily.
- Set a special time and place for homework, reviewing daily work and studying every night
- Pick up weekly progress reports on Thursday mornings (before school) in the Counseling office to monitor how you are doing.
- Visit the K-12 Planet website frequently (Login and password information goes home to all 9th grade parents early October.)
- Get involved-students with an interest in an activity or sport tend to be the most successful.
Set up an individual appointment:
Students may make an appointment to meet with their counselor by coming to the lobby before school, after school, or during lunch. Any clerk will be happy to schedule these appointments. Seniors should meet with their counselor at least once a month; other students, at least once a term.
Schedule a Parent Conference:
Parents may request a conference with their son or daughter and all teachers by contacting the assigned counselor directly at the extensions listed or through email.
Review student standing through weekly progress reports or the online program K-12 Planet.
Watch for Progress Reports and Report Cards-you should see one every
4½-5 weeks.
