As you prepare for
High School
Begin with the end in mind
What matters in the end are students' efforts in and out of the classroom, not the name on their diploma.
Focus on the moment
Students struggle to enjoy themselves or do what is best for them in the moment because their accomplishments are so oriented toward the future.
Selective Attention
What are your areas of hyper focus in your entry to high school? What are your blind spots or things your might miss as a result?

There is a science to your selections

Open Access to Academic Rigor
YOU get to choose what classes you take, keep in mind: Teachers are recommending you for the class they believe you will have the most success in! Guidelines for choosing harder classes: Top 20% on I-Ready or other Standardized Tests Establish good balance!! The class should add value and a challenge, not fill your plate and stress you out
