  Helpful Hints/Reminders :

****** Bring your Agenda each day and use it…Write your homework for every class each day and if you don’t have homework, write no homework in the section.***Parents, please make sure are checking and reviewing your student’s agenda pages each night.    Using your agenda successfully, may earn you Maverick Money. Yeah!

****** Use your homeroom time wisley..finish homework, work ahead, read a book. Use it as a study hall or a quiet working environment.

****** Pinnacle is up and running so parents should now be able to access this to check your student’s progress and grades in all of their classes.  Please keep an eye to this so you know how your son/daughter is doing in all their classes.
