Academic Help

If you are having difficulty in a class the first thing to do is meet with your teacher. Ask to set up a time before/after school when you can get some additional help. Come prepared with questions and concerns!

Here are some other tips for improving your grades.

  • At the beginning of each term make sure you know all of your teachers' policies, For example:
    • Where do you go for make-up work when you missed a day?
    • What is the late work policy?
    • Can you ask for extensions?
    • Is extra credit offered?
    • How are final grades determined?

  • Keep a separate folder and notebook for each class. Keep everything!

  • Your folder should include:
    1. The syllabus
    2. Assignment sheets
    3. Notes
    4. Returned homework

  • Identify at least one student in each class you can call or email for questions/help.

  • Use your planner (or your own organizational system) for keeping track of deadlines.

  • If your study habits are not getting you the grades you want, evaluate them. Use what works, get rid of what doesn't!

  • Make connections in what you are learning.
    • Look for ways your science labs are connected to what you are studying in history.
    • Read the newspaper and look for connections between the themes in your literature assignments and current events.
