Often times, students in middle school still need support and guidance on developing winning habits to achieve academic success. As families, how can you help your child develop the study skills they need to achieve academic success — and see benefits beyond the classroom as well? Of the many supports that families can provide students at home, time management is arguably the most impactful.
Time management is an incredibly important aspect of effective study skills. Have your child set notification reminders on their laptop with 2 to 5 days of advance notice of an upcoming due date. This is what we do when we have important deadlines to meet. Have your child review their calendar with you. Prepare for important tests by helping your child break down the content and make a schedule for reviewing the material in the days leading up to assignment turn in date, or test date. This will help your child avoid the need to procrastinate or cram because tasks are more manageable.
Have a great week!

IBD’S 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESS
Investor’s Business Daily is the #2 business daily behind The Wall Street Journal. They have spent years analyzing leaders and successful people in all walks of life: sports figures, business leaders, scientists, explorers, musicians, and more. Most have 10 traits that, when combined, can turn dreams into reality. We are running their list to benefit our Jets.
1 HOW YOU THINK IS EVERYTHING: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment.
2 DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.
3 TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don’t be afraid to get started. Just do it.
4 NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills.
5 BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up.
6 LEARN TO ANALYZE DETAILS: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.
7 FOCUS YOUR TIME AND MONEY: Don’t let other people or things distract you.
8 DON’T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE; BE DIFFERENT: Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity.
9 DEAL AND COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.
10 BE HONEST AND DEPENDABLE; TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Otherwise, Nos. 1-9 won’t matter.
