Tips for Academic Success

Tips for Social-Emotional Success

  • Get organized to help ensure assignments and materials make it to and from school and homework is submitted on time.
    • Having binders, dividers, and homework folders dedicated to each subject area can be helpful.
    • Keeping lockers organized and free of clutter makes it easier to find materials and arrive to the next class on time.
    • Supply lists are included in the summer mailer.
  • Utilize the Colina agenda/assignment notebook provided to students at the beginning of each year to write down homework assignments for each class every day.
    • Some teachers also post daily homework on Q or Canvas, but students should continue to write down their homework during class too.
    • Teachers will initial assignment notebooks if students bring it to them for review.
  • Have a set place at home designated for completing homework that is free from distractions.
    • Scheduling a regular time each day for doing homework can be helpful.
    • When doing homework and studying, minimize distractions from phones, TVs, and computers.
  • Parents can crosscheck homework written down and/or posted online with completed assignments and help to ensure these assignments make it into the correct folder and backpack to turn in the next day.
    • Having a designated homework folder can be helpful too.
      • Homework to turn in the next day can go on the right side and assignments to complete at home can go on the left side. ​The right side should be empty when students return home each day.
  • Students can ask teachers for help during class and during CORE. Communication is key. Parents can also send an email to teachers with questions or concerns. If a student is struggling in a class, parents should start with an email to the teacher.

    • Both Q and Canvas have apps that can be downloaded, as well.
