At the beginning of the fourth grading period, students transitioned into online school.

Since there was no warning, and no training course ahead of the transition, it has been a rough adjustment period for some students. Katie Gonzales, 9th grade, said, “Online school has been tricky for me because I’m used to the face-to-face learning environment.” It is possible that many other students are feeling the same, so here are some tips on how to stay organized and relieve stress at home:

Doing better in your online classes

– Dedicate a certain time of day to each of your classes.

– Work with other students for help on assignments.

– Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for help.

– Show up to class every day.   

Ways to reduce stress at home

– Consume less caffeine. (You don’t need that fifth glass of iced coffee!)

– Don’t procrastinate on assignments or tasks.

– Take deep breaths when you start to become frustrated.

– Spend time with your pet.
