How to End the School Year Successfully…

Words of Wisdom from Ms. Hogg

The Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush

Rule #1

• Don’t ask me about the weather or complain about the temperature…

– Regardless of whether it’s 75 degrees and sunny or 50 degrees and rainy, WE WILL STILL LEARN!

– I have no control over the temperature of the building. Always wear layers! Sometimes the air conditioning will not work, so be prepared!

Rule #2

• Don’t ask me how many days of school are left…

– I don’t do “countdowns.” I believe the only way to truly be happy is to enjoy the moment!

– Remember, you are only a freshman once, so enjoy this time of your life! You may be surprised at how sad you are at the end of the school year…

Rule #3• Don’t come to school

dressed for a party on the beach…

– PLEASE remember the school dress code.

– It is extremely awkward to ask a student to put on some appropriate clothes.... YIKES.

Rule #4

• Continue to do what you do….

– 4th marking period grades count just as much as any other marking period! MP 1, 2, 3, & 4 average together to calculate your final grade!

– Expect homework assignments, classwork, projects, labs, and tests just as any other time of year!

Rule #5

• Overall, have fun and enjoy this last part of the school year!

– Let’s work together to create a positive learning environment and end the school year successfully!

– Believe it or not, I will miss having you as students next year!
