6 weeks to go – you can do it!

We have just finished the Thanksgiving vacation week.  For those students who were on pace with your online school work, you should have had some time off to enjoy your friends and family.  For those students who may be a little behind in their school work, this was an opportunity to get caught up.

The beauty of an online school is that the school never closes – even during vacation time.  Teachers may be on vacation but students can always complete and turn in school work.

The key for any student who is feeling overwhelmed by the school work or is feeling behind in their school work is to first make a list of work to complete.  Then, show the list to a parent or other caring adult and work out a plan to complete the work.  Right now, there is plenty of time to get the work completed to earn a passing grade in all courses, but it is important to set a schedule and stick to it.  Get started today!

Know that we can help as well – we have an open computer lab on Monday-Thursday from 8am-12 noon staffed by a teacher who is there and can help.  We have a counselor on staff who can help discuss strategies.  All of the online teachers are happy to work with students as long as work is being completed.  All of us want each student to be successful and pass all of your classes and we know you can do it!

I subscribe to a blog called “The Positivity Blog“.    Some of his recent thoughts may help get you started:

“If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right, you’ll probably never do much of anything.”

Perhaps the most important thing you can do to improve your life is simply to do things.  To take action and learn along the way.
