Ways to Get the Most Out of School

Going to school can feel like a job, especially because it takes so much work! We know it can get overwhelming so here are some tips to gaining the most out of school.

1. Talk to your peers when it's the appropriate time!

   1. We know that talking and making friends can be difficult, but many kids are just looking for someone to take the first step toward friendship!

2. Speak to your teacher when they have time

   1. Teachers are human beings too and they're not as scary as you think! If you are struggling and do not want to talk in front of the class, look for a minute to ask (or hire a tutor)

3. Do your homework as soon as you can!

   1. Not just because homework is necessary but if you get it out of the way, there's more time to relax and prepare for the next day

4. Join an after-school club or a sports team

   1. This is a good way to get active while also providing opportunities for friendship, teamwork, and memories

   2. Most schools offer basketball, badminton, soccer, or volleyball

5. Avoid taking mass amounts of school off

   1. While not everyone can help it, it is better to attend school when possible. Falling behind can prove to be quite frustrating and you may miss out on some funny or great moments the longer you are away

   
   

Overall, school is to be appreciated while also a way to provide you with the tools necessary to achieve.
