Our first 4.5 week grading period is right around the corner. Please discuss with your child how they are doing in their classes. Don’t hesitate to reach out to individual teachers should you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s progress at this time.
10 HABITS OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS
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.
Don't multitask. Studies have shown that multitasking is physically impossible.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Congratulations to the GHS students and staff that participated in the Gilbert Theatre Ensemble’s Talent Show last week!
As always, thank you for your ongoing support of Gilbert High School!

DRESS CODE
Dear GHS Tiger Community:
We wanted to send home a quick reminder about our dress code. Here is a link to the Gilbert Public Schools and Gilbert High School Dress Code.
We expect all of our students to always be in dress code and to be the best versions of themselves here on campus. Please help us make sure that all of our students are dressed for success and school appropriate.
Some easy rules of thumb:
Make sure there are no inappropriate or negative messages on the clothing.
Make sure that your student does not have any undergarments showing (this is true for both boys and girls).
Make sure that your student’s midriff is covered.
Make sure that shorts and tops are of a modest design and not revealing (this is true for boys and girls).
Sincerely,
Brian Winter
Principal
What is the ASVAB and why should I take it?
