Does your student have low grades or anxiety over not being organized? Feel free to ask them to show you their system.

• How do they know what is due? Do they write due dates down somewhere?
• How are their folders organized?
• Is their chrome book bag bursting with papers that need to be organized?
• Do they have any completed work that needs to be turned in?
• Is their locker organized?

If they need or would like help with this have them stop into the counseling office
