SCHEDULE

• School starts at 8:05 a.m. and ends at 2:35 p.m.

• 6 classes per day – approx. 55 min. each

• 5 minute passing time

• 2 lunches determined by 4th period class

How does high school differ from middle school?

• Non-attendance impacts grades significantly

• Treated as a young adult responsible for actions and decisions

• The teacher/student relationship is a partnership. Need to talk to your teachers

• Less drama and fewer rumors. Fighting and “drama” are considered immature

TRANSITION: FREEDOM, OPPORTUNITY, SELF-RESPECT

Freedom

More independence Choosing classes Choosing career path Personal choices – peers, work

habits, activities Special events, Dances

Opportunity

Clubs Sports Activities Honors & AP classes Tech Prep classes Running Start Jobs

Self-Respect

awards, work, monetary rewards, feeling of accomplishment, self-confidence, resilience

Advice from Counselors:

Take the most rigorous classes you can (family access) Maintain highest grades possible (transcript) Get involved Develop clear goals for your future Begin networking with your teachers, counselor,

coaches, etc. Stay organized—use planners and calendars Learn to be resilient

What can you do to prepare for high school NOW?

Attend school every day (absences hugely affect grades)

Practice taking notes in core classes—science, math, social studies

Complete every assignment and turn in on due date

Ask your teacher for help, increase your class participation

and integrate knowledge
