  • Check your grades at least twice a week on Parent Portal
  • Check your assignments daily on Canvas
  • Use your planner (keep track of homework, project deadlines, upcoming tests, events, sports practice, etc.)
  • Set a "study space" 
    • Have all your material in front of you: lecture notes, course textbooks, study guides and any other relevant material.
  • Don’t try to do all your studying the night before the test. Instead space out your studying, review class materials several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time
  • Take short breaks frequently. Your memory retains information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle.
  • Review/re-write notes
  • Make flashcards on Quizlet
  • Create a Kahoot! (interactive game-based learning program)
  • Use Khan Academy (expert created content and resources for every subject)
  • Ask a friend/parent to quiz you
  • If you choose to study in a group, only study with others who are serious about the test.
  • Re-do homework problems as practice
  • Organize your backpack weekly
  • Pack your backpack (check for assignments you're turning in) the night before
