  1. How to improve your grade – For students with any grades lower than an “A” There are only TWO reasons why students get low grades: • They did not complete or submit the skills practice work • They do not score well on their assessments Which reason do you think explains your situation?

  2. Reason #1: Not completing homework? Here are some ways to make sure that you don’t get bad grades for work that youare fully capable of doing.

  3. Are you forgetting your assignments? • Stay organized. Forgetting that you have skills practice is a grade-school mistake. Organize your binder by class so that you can always find your class materials. Also, be sure to use an agenda to write down your skills practice and keep aware of due dates for long-term assignments.

  4. Do you find it hard to get work done at home? • Come to 10th Period. Maybe your neighborhood or house is too loud or uncomfortable to do work. Or maybe you’re like me and can’t help but goof off in certain places. If you would just stick around for thirty minutes, you could go home and chill and have the satisfaction of knowing you’re moving your whole life forward.

  5. Reason #2: Getting bad grades on quizzes and tests because you don’t understand the material? ASK SOMEBODY FOR HELP

  6. Want to hear your teacher explain it again?  Office hours Find out when his or her office hours are and go there for fifteen minutes after school. No matter how whack or mean the teacher may seem, he/she is not supposed to refuse you help if you ask for it. Check the syllabus in case you don’t know when Ms. Ng, Mr. Crawford or anyone else is available after school.

  7. Want to hear it explained by someone else? Ask Mr. V. Let me know what class you want help with and whether you want to meet during lunch or after school. I’ll review the stuff and take as much time with it as you need until you understand it.

  8. Want to figure it out on your own? Check Sharp School, the school website. Some of you fools don’t even know it exists – you can find all the notes and worksheets that you’ve missed on west.urbanprep.org. For Ms. Ng’s class, if she ever talks too fast, go download the PowerPoint and fill in all the things you missed.

  9. FINAL NOTE: Choose wisely which classes you focus your efforts on: English Survey and Algebra both count as a double-period – an A in those classes is actually two A’s in your GPA, an F in those classes is actually two F’s
