Be true to yourself. The pressure to conform (or to be like everyone else) grows as you become a teenager. Don’t let peer pressure dictate who you are or what you want to achieve. Although, if it does, don't freak out. It's ok to fit in a little bit despite what all the books say. Do what is right for you and what you’re interested in.

• Stick up for what you believe in and what you know is right. For instance, turn in someone who is bullying you or other kids. If this costs you a childhood friend, don’t worry. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to make new, better friends in middle school.

1. Get Organized. Making a plan for what you're going to do and when you're going to do it will make sure you're always ahead of the curve - literally.
    
2. Don't multitask. Studies have shown that multitasking is physically impossible.
    
3. Divide it up. Studying isn't fun to begin with, and forcing yourself through a study marathon will only make it worse. Dividing your work into manageable chunks and rewarding yourself when you finish each chunk will make studying (more) fun.
    
4. Sleep. Don't underestimate the importance of those eight hours of zzz's every night! Getting a good night's rest will sharpen your focus and improve your working memory.
    
5. Set a schedule. Do you work better right after school or after you've eaten dinner? Are you more productive in 90-minute blocks or half-hour spurts? Find a schedule that works for you, and stick to it.
    
6. Take notes. Taking notes will not only keep you more engaged during class, but will also help you narrow down what you need to study when exam time rolls around. It's much easier to reread your notes than to reread your entire textbook!
    
7. Study. This one might be obvious, but did you know that there's a right and a wrong way to study? Review your material several days ahead of time, in small chunks, and in different manners (for example, write flashcards one day and take practice tests the next). In other words, don't cram.
    
8. Manage your study space. Find a place that will maximize your productivity. Look for places away from the television and other distractions. Whether it's your local library or just the desk in your bedroom, set aside a study space that you'll want to spend time in.
9. Find a study group. Sitting down with a group of people who are learning the same things as you is a great way to go over confusing class material or prepare for a big test. You can quiz each other, reteach material, and make sure that everyone is on the same page. After all, teaching someone else is the best way to learn.
    
10. Ask questions. You're in school to learn, so don't be afraid to do just that! Asking for help - from a teacher, a tutor or your friends - is a surefire way to make sure you truly understand the material.

A large portion of our students are bussed to school! To make it work smoothly, please have students remember which bus they ride. In the morning this is easy as they drop them off but after school we will have close to 25 buses that pick up students, so if students know the bus # it will help them get on the right on. It is good to put this number in their phone or write it down in a folder.

If you need help finding a bus pick-up or drop-off area look at this link https://www.infofinderi.com/ifi/?cid=NSD4K2L8WGYX&cid=NSD4K2L8WGYX

BE PATIENT!

Drop-off & pick-up area's are on the north side of the school off 450 south or in the front of the school parking off the same road or 500 west. The church parking lot to the east is used by many parents also. Be aware of signs, students and bus traffic. Our goal is to keep everyone safe!

Please have a prearranged pick-up spot for your student.

The first student who correctly guesses the right answer on any of these questions about our faculty and e-mails me, will get a treat on the first day of school! You can e-mail with one guess or all of them! Make sure you put what number you are guessing about!
