Lockers!! This is a BIG concern for scholars!! Our teachers allow scholars to practice the 1st week of school. We do not expect our scholars to be experts right away! Parents, consider buying a lock for your child to practice at home. It won't be an exact match to the school locks but it is still valuable practice and may help them feel more prepared. FYI: No one gets shoved in a locker!! Please watched the youtube video on opening lockers. | Organization Being organized is huge part of middle school!! You have 6 different teachers giving out different class assignments, homework, and you have to be able to balance and prioritize your time. TIPS: **Use your agenda **Make a daily/weekly Schedule **Have a place for everything **Keep your locker clean and organized **Turn your homework in on time so you won't fall behind Take a look at this Planning and Organizational crash course for students. | Parent Tool Kit Read about how to guide your scholar through Middle School Transitions. |
