Here are a few tips to help those entering high school. Good luck and take it easy!

• Do not buy anything from older students. (hall passes, elevator passes, bathroom passes etc.) This is a scam.  Upperclassmen have done this in the past as a way of earning easy money from unsuspecting freshman.
•  If you are lost, ask a teacher to help you find your class.  Some upperclassmen think it's funny to send freshman in the opposite direction.
• Don’t forget your gym bag on gym day.  It’s rough being the only one in jeans, and you won’t earn participation points for that day.
• Don’t stand in the middle of the hallway.  Upperclassmen find this very annoying and will push you out of the way.
• Don’t walk on the wrong side of the hallway.  Yes, there is a right and wrong side!
• Study and do your homework.  (Your GPA actually matters.)
• Don’t stress out over small stuff and stay away from those who make a big deal out of everything,
• Work in study halls. You’re more likely to get your work done, and that’s what they are meant for. Time management will help you maintain free time outside of school.
• Learn how to prioritize and organize. It's hard to keep up with classes if you don’t.  (Use your agenda book, write a to do list, and keep papers in folders and notebooks.)
• Get involved. Go to the athletic events, join clubs, go to the school plays, concerts and other various events. 
• Most importantly, have fun.
