HEALTH OFFICE REMINDERS FOR THE 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR

As we approach summer break, we would like to remind families of some important things to do before your student or students come back to school for the 2026-2027 year 2026-2027 Health Office Reminders

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

TIPS FOR THE FINAL WEEKS OF SCHOOL:

  1. Students should be spending time with teachers before or after school as frequently as possible.

  2. All homework/classwork needs to be turned in on time for the remainder of the semester to earn full credit and recover previous low grades.

  3. If there are missing assignments listed in Canvas that can still be turned in for credit, students need to get these completed and turned in to teachers as soon as possible to recover any potential credit. 

  4. Many teachers will have study sessions or study guides leading up to final exams. Students should be attending each study session and completing all study guides.

  5. Here is a link for study strategies in each content area.

  6. Here is a link to teacher office hours & tutoring options.
