Students will feel confident about the new school year having armed themselves with some tools and strategies to tackle these challenges.  

Specific skills will include:

• Planner preparation
• Locker combination/organization
• School supply management
• Assignment prioritization
• Breaking projects into chunks
• Organizing and prioritizing school, home, and extracurricular activities
• Task initiation
• Office 365 and Schoology 
• Notetaking strategies
• Homework strategies
• Communication skills with peers and adults
