Finding Balance
It is important for all of us to cultivate a healthy life balance. Establishing a balance in life can help all people find success and happiness. Ensuring that all aspects of oneself are satisfied help in fostering this balance. This is especially important as students select courses for next year and consider what their lives will look like with academics, athletics, extracurricular involvements, and social/familial commitments. We know that the most successful and fulfilled students are the ones who get 8+ hours of sleep a night, spend social time with friends and families, and are engaged in the classes they take and activities they are involved in. We encourage students to plan what their typical week would look like as they select classes for next year.
Knowing firsthand the stress high school students face, Jimmy Thai, A Westview parent, developed a wonderful resource for our students to help them visualize and manage their schedule, based on their potential courses next year. Over the last 3 terms, Westview students have been surveyed on the amount of time they spend outside of class for each of their courses. This data helps students understand what to expect in regards to their schedule and time commitments.Check out this online tool by clicking HERE and creating an account!
