Top Five Tips from a Middle School Student to the New Students
Tip Number 5 – Make plans to sit together with your friends at lunch before the lunch period. It’s really awkward when you have to sit by total strangers and have nothing to say. Your lunch period is a great time to chat with your friends.
Tip Number 4 – Be sure to try new things. Sign up for new clubs and sports with your friends. It helps if they are there to try them with you.
Tip Number 3 – Know your locker combination and keep it organized. Believe it or not, not knowing your combination can wreck your whole day. Put your combination in a hidden place like a folder so that you are not late to class. If your locker becomes disorganized, you will not be able to find your completed assignments.
Tip Number 2 – Do your homework and keep assignments organized. Make sure you know when tests are coming up and study when needed. Getting behind on homework assignments can lower your grade and cause hassles with your parents.
Tip Number 1 – Stay organized and be on time to class. Make sure you know your schedule and have everything you need to go to class. After the first couple of weeks of school, teachers expect you to bring everything and don’t let you go back to your lockers for things you forget.
