At the close of school tomorrow, the 2018-2019 school year is half complete. Students in some semester-based courses will switch on Tuesday.
As I have reminded stakeholders in the past, it's also a great time to look at successes of the first semester and plan to build on them, while iterating in other areas that might need a tweak or some additional growth.
Commit to a growth mindset that hard work will reap many benefits. You will have a better second half of the school year no matter what your entry point is when you embrace this.
