    TO DO LIST:

    • Meet with your school counselor and find out your high school’s graduation requirements.
      • What kind of high school diploma do you want in 4 years? IB, Honors, College & Career Ready, Standard? The choice is yours!
      • Decide on a graduation plan with classes and electives.
    • Get Active! Choose a few electives and extracurricular activities to get involved in. Try something new. High school is a great time to try out new things. There are lots of clubs and athletic opportunities that may not have been available to you previously.
    • Have fun and study hard.
    • Make sure you complete the Community Service for MYP. This year you have to complete six Reflections that are based on community service. This is a requirement for MYP Certification and off-campus passes.  All freshmen will have this as part of their Individuals and Societies course in their Seminar. Talk to Mrs. Evenson in the IB room if you have any questions. 
    • At the end of the year: Write down your accomplishments! Were you in band? What did you play? What clubs did you try? Did you play freshman sports? Did you have an after-school job? Did you help at home? Put this list some place safe. You’ll need it in 3 years.
    • Volunteer or learn a new hobby during your summer break.
