Welcome back!
Welcome back to High Point. I hope that you had a wonderful summer and that you are exited to begin the new academic year.
Time management is probably one of the most important skills that each high school student should acquire. Please take a realistic look at your classes and at your activities. Is there time in your schedule to thoroughly complete all of your academic tasks? Are you staying awake too late at night to effectively participate in all of your classes? Honors English 10 is tough. You need to prepare to take a college-level class next year and that takes dedication. Budget your time so that you can meet the demands of AP Literature next year.
I look forward to working with each of you. Please know that I am in room 228 before school and room 409 after school if you need any assistance.
