    In order to succeed in school most students need to put forth their best effort consistently. This includes but is not limited to:

    • Regular attendance
    • Being punctual
    • Bringing school materials to class consistently (including charged Chromebooks and the accessories that go with the Chromebook)
    • Listening to and following staff members' directions
    • Paying attention in class and taking notes
    • Turning in completed homework on time
    • Reviewing their class notes daily

    Students also need to have their basic needs met. These include but are not limited to:

    • Enough nutritious food to eat
    • Enough uninterrupted sleep (Most teens need between 8-10 hours of sleep nightly according to the National Sleep Foundation)
    • Encouragement when they struggle
    • Appropriate discipline when they are not fulfilling their obligations in earning their education
    • To be told frequently that they are loved and valued
    • To be reminded that learning is work and sometimes work is hard
    • Having to work hard is not an acceptable reason to give up and quit

    School counselors understand that there are times when what students need in order to succeed in school is not always readily accessible to them. When students require help in meeting these essential needs, school counselors work to help. Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to contact their child's school counselor via the counselor's email address if any concerns or questions arise. Counselors work hard to answer e-mails within a 24-hour time period except for weekends, holidays and summer break.
