14 Nov Road Map for November: Freshmen

Have you gotten your first high school report card yet? Whether you’re thrilled with your grades or wishing they were a bit stronger, this is the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and plan. Early feedback can help you understand what’s working and what you may want to improve before the semester or year grades—those that ultimately appear on your transcript—are finalized.

Take advantage of this time to connect with your teachers. Ask thoughtful questions like: What are my strengths in your class? What should I focus on next? What’s the most effective way to prepare for your assignments? When you approach teachers with curiosity and initiative, you’ll not only get helpful guidance, you’ll also be building relationships with people you can rely on throughout high school for support as you work toward your goals.
