Improving Time Management Skills
Here are a few tips for high school students to improve their time management skills:
1. Use a planner or digital calendar to schedule your commitments and deadlines. This will help you visualize your responsibilities and allocate time for each task.
2. Prioritize your tasks by urgency and importance, focusing on completing the most crucial assignments first.
3. Break down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks to prevent feeling overwhelmed and ensure steady progress.
4. Minimize distractions during study sessions by creating a designated workspace, turning off notifications, and setting specific time limits for breaks.
5. Don’t forget to schedule some downtime for relaxation and self-care, as it is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
By implementing these strategies, high school students can develop effective time management habits that will serve them well in their academic pursuits and beyond. Let’s support our students in honing this essential skill for success!
2024-2025 Curriculum Night
Title I Stakeholders Input Meeting
DCSD Student ID Project
This Friday, August 30th is Underclassmen Picture Day at AMHS. All students are required to take a school picture as they will be used for school IDs. To ensure a smooth process, please note the designated polo shirt colors for each grade:
9th grade: White AMHS Polo Shirt
10th grade: Navy Blue AMHS Polo Shirt
11th grade: Green AMHS Polo Shirt
After the pictures are taken, students will receive their IDs which they will need to wear daily at school (lanyards will be provided), use for breakfast and lunch, use in the school's media center, and present when attending DCSD athletic activities. Should a student misplace their ID, they will need to purchase a replacement.
Please remind your child of these requirements ahead of time so that they can prepare accordingly for Picture Day. Thank you for your cooperation!
