Interventions for improving grades
1. Contact your
teacher for specific suggestions for
improvement and help available.
2. Be in class on
time and well-prepared each day.
Participate with full attention in class
activities.
3. Keep an
assignment book or planner to organize
short-term and long-term projects. Break
large projects into smaller chunks.
4. Block off
routine, quiet study time at home.
5. Review notes
and texts periodically. Do not wait
until the night before a test. Plan
ahead for finals.
6. Establish
study groups with peers.
7. Review sound
test-taking techniques. Ask your teacher
how to best study for his/her subject
area.
8. Reevaluate
your priorities when activities or
employment outside of school jeopardize
your academic success.
9. Use school
resources available to you.
How to
get help at school:
Teachers
• Talk to your teacher about specific
suggestions for improvement.
• Ask your teacher about help sessions
that he/she offers his/her students.
Peer Tutoring
• Honor Society, Foreign Language Club,
Beta Club, and Key Club offer
peer-tutoring to students on Tuesdays,
and Thursdays during the second half of
lunch.
School Counselors
• Contact the Guidance Office for a
recommendation of outside tutors.
• Make an appointment with your school
counselor for further recommendations.
Grade Level Principal
• Contact your grade level principal to
be matched with a faculty mentor.
• Contact your grade level principal for
further assistance.
Other resources: Library
• The library contains 15 computers for
student use.
• The Library holds books, videos, and
periodicals.
• The Library is open Monday through
Friday from 7:00a.m.-2:20 p.m.
TIPS FOR TALKING TO TEENS ABOUT FACEBOOK
(From Dailygrommet . com)
Facebook is a responsibility
Talk to
your kids about controlling their
information.
Encourage them to be selective about
what they post. But it’s not just what
they post that can get away from them.
Their activities on Facebook, including
the applications they use and games they
play, can be viewed by others.
Set
rules about what’s appropriate to post. Talk
to your children about not posting
photos of them doing something that
could hurt them in the future. They also
need to be thoughtful about their status
updates, wall posts, and comments on
friends’ posts. Remind them that once
they post something, it’s out of their
hands.
Encourage teens to self-reflect before
they self-reveal.
Teens are very much in the moment and
are likely to post something they didn’t
really mean. Work with them on curbing
that impulse. Teach them to ask
themselves why they’re posting
something, who will be able to read it,
and whether it be misunderstood or used
against them later.
