Student Success List!

These are the success stories for the month of September

Routine is Key!

Tips to create a strong routine:

*Understand the need for routine

Many people see routines as a way to manage time but routines offer psychological benefits too. With structure in place, stress is reduced, overall sense of well-being is improved and a positive mindset is fostered.

* Designate a Learning Space

Dedicate a place that has enough space for any necessary learning tools (computer, notebook) but free from as many distractions as possible.

* Plan Brain Breaks

A timer is a great tool for brain breaks to ensure that breaks don't break your work flow.

* Create a Daily Schedule

A schedule should include a regular bedtime that allows for 7-8 hours of sleep.

An example schedule might look like this:

8am - Breakfast

9am - Work on Classes

10:30am - 10:45am - Brain Break

10:45am - Work on Classes

12pm - 12:30pm - Lunch

12:30pm - Work on Classes

2pm - 2:15pm - Brain Break

2:15pm - 3pm - Work on Classes

Homework Help

Weekly Check-ins

Remember that weekly check-ins are a requirement of Homelink. They are a great time to review where you are academically with your teacher and make a plan for the week. Make sure you are getting your check-in, whether in person, over zoom or via communication log, done on time each week!

Parents!

We would love you input!

Each year we do at least two family activities. We typically do one on the Fall and one in the Spring. We would love your input on activities, dates and times that would work best for your family.

We would like to have as many families attend as possible.
