Back to School Tips

It's August. Summer is winding down, and it's time to get back into the routine of school. Getting up early, sitting through classes, navigating the hallways can all seem like daunting tasks if you've slept in until noon and lounged on the couch for an entire summer. (Trust me, I know!)

But I'm here with some back to school tips to help ease the transition and get your year off to a great start!

Tip #1 -- Get a good night's sleep!
     Yeah yeah, you've heard it a million times already. But seriously! Disconnect from the world, get your bedtime routine done, lay your head down, and close your eyes!

​     Did you know teens need more sleep than adults (about 8-10 hours)? This is because your body is going through so many changes!

Tip #2 -- Give it your all.
Whether you hate or love school, you still have to go. So why not try to make the best of it? Go to class with an open mind, and you might discover a new passion! Enter the new school year with a smile on your face and a kind word to everyone you meet.

Tip #3 -- Be Kind
You never know what another person is going through, so smile and have a kind word for everyone you meet. You might just make some new friends. 

Tip #4 -- Ask Questions
Need help finding your locker? Don't understand the class material? Ask your teacher! They are here to help you, and would be more than happy to answer any questions they can for you!
