ORGANIZATION An important time of becoming or being a successful student is being organized. You might be very smart, but if you are disorganized and can't find your assignments, you'll get a bad grade.
At home before school - Before you leave for school make sure you have your homework, all the books you need, and any supplies in your backpack. If you have a club or sport after school, be sure you have what you need. Tell your parents when your lunch money account is low so you don't run out of money. Before class - Make sure that you have all of your materials you will need before your next break or the next time you can go to your locker. During class - If you are going to be taking notes in class make sure that you copy everything down correctly . Also try to participate as much as you can in class. Before you leave class remember to write down the assignment for the next day. After school - When you get home from school do your homework at the same time each night. Work in an organized space where you have everything you need. If you put things back after you use them, then you won't waste time looking for them. These sites also have good ideas:
