Tips for Making a Successful Transition

Use an agenda for recording assignments and check the website frequently.
Prepare for all quizzes and tests – reviews are given for all tests.
Bring required text to class everyday – unless notified by the teacher not to do so.
Complete all homework and major assignments on time – do not plan to turn anything in late.
Realize that you are now in high school; personal responsibility is very important. Be prepared and do all of the above and you will have a very smooth transition to high school.
Most important tip: These are your high school years; work hard but enjoy these years – they will only come once in your lifetime.
