• Academic Success begins with Organization

    Planners:  Students will be provided with a planner the first week of school.

    It is important that students start the year by using their planner to write down what the assignment is and when it is due.  Just writing assignments on a scrap piece of paper adds to the problem of completing assignments on time.

    Binders:  Some students prefer to use a separate binder for each class.  Others prefer one large binder with dividers.  In either case it is important to start the year off by having plenty of extra paper and dividers to find the assignments.  It is important for students to organize the materials right from the beginning of the school year, otherwise, it is usually the case for papers to be lost.  Students who put papers in their pockets rarely are able to find them in the future. 

    Pens and Pencils:  Students need plenty of pens and pencils to write daily.education

    Homework folder:  Students need to have a central place to keep homework assignments so they can find the papers and complete the assignments on time.

    Highlighters can be useful for some classes but it's important that students avoid highlighting too much information on a page.
