Good Advice Concerning Dress Up Days • Have a change of clothes with you. • If you are inappropriately dressed you must a) fix it quickly b) go to ISS or home for the day • Have a questionable outfit planned? - Try it on, take a picture, ask some teachers if it’s ok

Academic Success To do well in school you need: • To know what is expected of you • Know when tests will be given • Know what material will be on the tests • Know your grades Use parent portal to look up grades • Know how to improve grades if they are low

Tip 1: Study Daily • Every single study of academic success shows that students who commit some time every day to studying -- reading, writing, reviewing, etc. -- perform at a much higher level than those who study in larger chunks, and much better than those who cram. • Studying daily builds and increases your knowledge base for the long-term -- assuming you are studying actively rather than passively. • Active studying means practicing involving behaviors, such as creating outlines, developing flash cards, participating in study groups, rewriting notes, etc.

Tip 2: Know the Teacher • Put another way, make sure your professor knows you. It's amazing how many students choose to be anonymous in the classroom. • You don't have to become best buddies with your teacher-- and we are not advocating the "kiss-up" strategy either. This tip is about you moving beyond being an anonymous name or number to being an actual person -- whom the teacher recognizes. • Visit the teacher during his/her planning period. The benefits of this strategy are enormous because you'll get the help you need as well as often getting some insider information -- and there's even something termed the "halo effect," which deals with the concept that a professor grades more leniently when s/he grades an assignment of a student s/he knows (and respects).

Tip 3: Read Actively • Active reading means doing more than just reading. For some people, it means underlining, highlighting, or annotating the materials. • Others develop a list of keywords and summarize materials as they read. Still others continually quiz themselves and try to put the information in a different context that helps them better understand it and retain it.
