HSD Connected Tip of the Week: Understand Me
|
 |
Students report that they begin to lose confidence, feel overwhelmed, and get behind by the third week of school. Are you checking in with them to see how they're feeling about your class, whether they're able to complete homework on time, and if they're learning new things? Request students' honest feedback about your teaching and the subject matter of your class(es) often so you can make adjustments as you go.

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a key component of preparing to enter college. Submitting a FAFSA unlocks eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work study funds, where applicable. This year, the FAFSA opens Oct. 1, instead of Jan. 1 as it has in past years, and will rely on tax information from 2015. See your high school counselor or go to FAFSA.ed.gov for more information.
