The planner will provide a visual of everything you need to do. Keep Track of Your Grades - Student Portal should be used to keep track of your grades, attendance, and have access to teacher emails. Keep Lines of Communication Open With Teachers - Don t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. - Be a self advocate for some things. If absent, communicate with teacher and ask for make-up/missed assignments. Get Involved - Join clubs in which you have a common interest and shared values with other students. Don t be afraid.
