Suggestions for Struggling Students
THINGS YOU CAN DO
- USE STUDENT CONNECT AND PARENT CONNECT, otherwise known as MiStar.
- GET ORGANIZED. Use folders and binders. No loose paper in backpacks or in books. Put the date on all of your notes and homework. It’s easier to put things in order by date.
- FIND STUDY PARTNERS. Have a study partner in each class. Find a friend to work with and contact whenever you’re absent. Have two names and phone numbers in your agenda for friends in each class.
- ASK YOUR TEACHER FOR HELP. Ask your teacher when you can meet to get additional help.
- DO HOMEWORK AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY. Designate a specific time for homework every day—same time and same place. Start homework before dinner. Reward yourself with breaks.
- ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS. Put away your phone, turn off the TV, quit texting, and step away from the computer. Budget your time so you can use them again after your homework is done.
- SEEK OUT A PAID TUTOR. Ask your counselor for a list or find it on the Counseling webpage.
- MODIFY YOUR STUDY TECHNIQUES.
