My biggest fear is not being able to get things done in time. I need to work on my time management skills. Another worry is college.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest fear this year is forgetting or confusing due dates for online assignments. Looking at the different cohort dates on accident,  unclear due dates,  and the total number of assignments can stress me out

# data[].attributes.body
I worry a lot about finishing my work on time as well as doing a good job and putting in a lot of effort.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried that this year will be a lot different than any other year and that it might not return to normal by the end of the year

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest worry is not being able to finish everything on time. There is a lot of assignments being given and can be hard to keep track of. I am also stressed about applying for college and that whole process.

# data[].attributes.body
The goal I have is to stay focused on my work and try my best not to procrastinate my work. I would like to earn the best grades I can get this year

# data[].attributes.body
My two biggest worries are not getting the things that need to be done finished and not being able to live up to the expectations that I had for this year, given the circumstances.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried my grades my go down because I am not the best learner all online. I am also worried that I will be overwhelmed and stress as the year goes on. Finally i am worried because I am not sure if I will fall behind out of confusion because the calls lag sometimes.

# data[].attributes.body
Many of my stressors pertain to grades and making them as perfect as possible. I hate getting B’s and often find myself sacrificing my physical and mental health to make everything perfect. However, at the same time, I get stressed about knowing how poor I am with time management and I stress about things like “How am I going to find time to prepare for my SAT” and “When am I going to ever figure out which college I want to go to”. I also worry a great deal about the future and things I have no control over.

# data[].attributes.body
Worries - I still worry about getting sick. I do not want to come in contact with the flu or Covid. I fear infecting my family.
Stressors - this new format has put me on the struggle bus. Am I giving too much? Am I organized? Are lessons and activities useful?
Fears - clowns, spiders, bugs, running late at night, getting hit by a car while walking or running

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely stress a lot about school, especially this year since it seems a lot harder to keep up with things. I also become very stressed about the college process because it seems like a lot to take on.

# data[].attributes.body
My goals for this year are to stay focused on school work and to stay organized. I hope to get good grades and to get into a good college.

# data[].attributes.body
My goals for this year are to get good grades and make sure to do all my work and stay focused.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in this situation we are all a bit fearful about what happens if someone contracts the virus and how will it affect people around that person. Academically, I am a bit worried about AP Physics. It has only been the first week and a majority of the student in the class are lost.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal Goal - Continue working out everyday to close my rings.
Academic Goal - Learn how to flip assignments and lessons to provide engaging remote days.

# data[].attributes.body
I do stress a lot with work pretty easily which is a bad habit of mine because even if it is not a bad assignment or a hard one I usually will stress about it anyways. I also am a pretty bad procrastinator and I think the reason why I still am is because no matter what I have always got the work done on time so I think that since it has not really given me a negative outcome I still do it.

# data[].attributes.body
My goals this year are to get into colleges that I want and just finish the whole applying process so I wont stress about it anymore, get good grades, and graduate.

# data[].attributes.body
An academic goal that I have this year is to stay focused on my work and to not let myself fall into the routine of procrastinating and putting off work for the next day just to be more stressed. A personal goal that I have this year is to be mindful grateful of what is given to be, given the circumstances because I really am in a more fortunate situation compared to students from other schools.

# data[].attributes.body
My goals this year are to get good grades and to get into the colleges that I want. A personal goal I have it to improve at my event in track.

# data[].attributes.body
My hope for this year is that I look back on it in the future and feel that I had a good year and it was what I had hoped for. I also want to make sure that I enjoy this year as much as possible and not stress too much about things I can not control. I hope this year that I find out more about my interests and paths I may choose to take in the future. I would like to maintain the grades I have had throughout high school, without feeling as stressed and overworked as I usually do. I also hope I am able to have some sort of season for both of my sports.

# data[].attributes.body
This year, I want to get the college process out of the way as soon as I can because I don't want that stressing me out for a long time. I also want to get good grades this year since I definitely challenged myself with the classes I took.

# data[].attributes.body
My goals for this year are to get good academic grades likes A's so I can end off strong for college. I also want to work on typing with all fingers and get faster with it since I used to only use two fingers. Finally I want to finish all my college stuff early so I do not have to stress.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to wrap up some of my projects, work on my college essays on time, and finish out my senior year on a high note. Also, I want to perform well in tennis and possibly run for league MVP.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say to focus more on getting the students educated rather than getting work done, be more understanding with the fact that not all students are in the same situation, and be more mindful when helping students.

# data[].attributes.body
My goals academically is to get good grades and end my last year on a high note. I want to get all my college necessities done early and not have to stress about them for long. Personally, I want to have a good basketball season and keep up with my family and friends as college is soon so it may be my last year with them.

Be flexible with due dates, understand that other teachers are also assigning a lot of work too, and offer extra help when students need it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Try and keep things as normal as possible, especially for the seniors because this is the year a lot of us have been looking forward to, and things like prom and graduation you only get to experience once.
2. Take things slow because its new for everybody and everyone needs time to adjust
3. Be more flexible because everything is so new and different from previous years.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Graduation - Other schools waited and held in-person graduations during the summer months. My advice is to consider the opinions of the community by allowing stakeholders to discuss ideas. Add parents and seniors to the decision-making process.
2. Social Emotional Learning - Offer more moments for students to take mask breaks, offer SEL activities to improve our head space.
3. Improve School Culture - The school needs to offer more activities to improve the culture of the school. What will school look like without these events?

# data[].attributes.body
Three pieces of advice I would give is definitely reach out if it seems like students are having a hard time, take things slow because this is new for everybody and moving at a fast pace will not make it easy for anyone, and try not to assign too much at a time because students have several other classes and it is already hard enough to keep up with the new schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
1) We should all be patient.
2) It's important to clearly state due dates because we only meet 3 times a week.
3) Maybe hold a time just for questions.

# data[].attributes.body
1. On Mondays and Tuesdays, when I'm home, other teachers tend to keep us on the google meet for the whole time and I tend to lose my focus. Being in one class virtually for 68 minutes is really hard.
2. Check in with students more often
3. Taking the extra time to explain certain assignments

# data[].attributes.body
If I could give three pieces of advice to my new teachers, it would be to frequently check in with their students, make sure they are understanding of issues going on in their lives, and doing their best to give as much attention to students that are online as possible because it can sometimes feel as though you are all alone.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Try not walk away from the camera when talking to the class and us because the audio cuts out.
2. Take your time explaining because being on a call makes everything more difficult to understand so we need more time to take it in.
3. Be flexible with late work technology does not always work to perfection.

# data[].attributes.body
1. There are a lot of distractions at home when it comes to remote classes which makes it harder to learn and get work done. I think that the school could be more understanding of that

# data[].attributes.body
Assigning multiple assignments at once in classroom can be pretty confusing and stressful at times. If assignments were more spaced out it would help.

Due dates should be more flexible due to how new this system of in school and remote classes. Because different cohorts have different due dates, the due date of whatever cohort you are in gets confusing to find at some points.

On calls topics should be explained more because it is more difficult to learn remotely at times.

# data[].attributes.body
A negative experience I had was not being able to see my friends or go out and do the things i would normally be doing. This made me feel really sad and impatient because I just wanted the whole thing to be over.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that with all the online work and how sometimes things don't submit easily or connection doesn't work properly that we need patience, time, and understanding that work might be harder than it usually is.

# data[].attributes.body
It was difficult not being able to see my friends every day in school and outside of school. There were also certain classes and teachers who assigned more work remotely than they did when we were actually in school.

# data[].attributes.body
I struggled with being on the computer for the majority of the day. It's easier to stay focused at home, but its harder to stay focused when you're looking at a screen for long periods of time. It was also hard because a lot of activities were cancelled, such as track which would normally keep me occupied for a good amount of the day. Being on lockdown from everyone and everything was also very hard, but in the end we all managed to pull through.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the negative experiences were not being able to see friends for a while. I am a person who likes to socialize, so not being able to be with other people was really frustrating. It did impact me positively in the long run because I realized I had a lot of great friends to appreciate.

# data[].attributes.body
A negative experience was not being able to go out and see my friends. I missed the social interaction that I had before and being able to go out and have fun. Also school was very tough because I felt like teachers were just giving us work just to give it and making it stuff that was not really important or helpful, it was more like busy work.

# data[].attributes.body
Some negative experiences I had was the amount of work we were given, as well as how ineffective I felt most of the lessons were. I found myself not learning very much. This impacted me by showing me how it can be difficult for teachers to figure out what are the best ways to teach us during this time and we should not be too hard on them or ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
When distributing food to local pantries, I never understood how many people were affected until after the pandemic. Food pantries ran out of food every other week, so I really felt bad for families who have been negatively affected. Also, I tried to take the SAT multiple times and it has been canceled over 4 times now. I'm so sick of studying over and over again for a standardized test.

# data[].attributes.body
Some negative experiences I had was related to physical activity. Due to spring sports being cancelled, I got less physical activity than normal and I am not completely in shape for my upcoming season of soccer.

# data[].attributes.body
The only negative thing that was a little stressful and frustrating was the confusion. The calls lag sometimes and the teachers are sometimes hard to hear which makes everything more complicated and confusing. I am also more of an in school learner so i wasn't retaining the information.

# data[].attributes.body
It was hard with the amount of work I had as well as being at home and not really in a learning or school environment made the motivation to get work done difficult to come by. This made the work seem harder than it was and put a lot more stress on myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I missed being able to see my friends and go out. I started missing being in school and having a routine of getting up every morning.

# data[].attributes.body
I struggled with the lack of autonomy we had in the spring. I didn't like using the same assignment for every grade. All of these assignments were written work, which I found very difficult to provide feedback on. It just seemed like we were assigning to assign. It felt like busy work at times.

My two children (especially my 5th grader -at the time) had A LOT of work. She was using several apps (Seesaw, Google Classroom, some math program). It was so much work. It also retaught me how to multiply and divide fractions and fractions with whole numbers. I passed 5th grade again.

# data[].attributes.body
It was good to get a little bit of a break on school work. I had more time to complete school work. I liked being able to spend more time with my family.

# data[].attributes.body
Remote learning in the spring was much easier and less stressful than regular school. It was a nice break from a tough workload.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the positive experiences I had were how understanding many of my teachers were about missing/late work and how I felt less stressed about deadlines because of that. Those experiences showed me that many teachers do truly care about their students’ happiness and struggles, and how they want the best for us. I feel that they were more understanding about the deadlines because of how confusing and difficult online learning was for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
A positive experience that I had during this time was being able to get closer with my family. It was nice to be able to have the time to do things together and do it more consistently. I think that the impact that this had was it changed the way we valued our time together. Before we were so focused on other thing that we had to do that it was not really something that we thought about but with more time, we were able to value it more. As far as learning goes, it was positive in the sense that I didn't have to worry about getting specific grades and this gave me a lot of stress free time.

# data[].attributes.body
The experiences in the spring helped me become a lot closer with my family. Everyone always had a busy schedule and was out doing things but since quarantine we have been together more and have gotten a lot closer.

# data[].attributes.body
My experience from spring remote learning allowed me to stay focused more with less distractions, such as friends in school. Another positive outcome was spending more time with my family. We played games and watched TV shows together and overall just got closer.

# data[].attributes.body
Remote learning in the spring allowed me to spend more time with my family which was difficult before with work and school. Remote learning was also a good break from all of the stress because there were a lot of big assignments to do including the research paper which was very stressful.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the remote learning was not as stressful as regular school because teachers were more layed back and understanding. This help me be less stressed and have more time to try new things along with having more time to play basketball.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a great time to relax with my family. Also, I was involved in a few projects so I kept myself busy. My first project was Sponsor-A-Basket in which I accumulate money for local food pantries. Another project was Bonded Forever in which I distributed Thank you cards and custom wristbands. These experiences had a very positive experience on me and helped me realize how frontline people were affected in the pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
Some positives were that I could work with others and get more help from others than in a class where it was sometimes hard to find time to get help because I could not really ask during the class time and with sports and work it was tough after school as well. It made the work seem as it was easier and less stressful.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the positive experiences I had from remote learning in the spring was being able to be home with my family a lot more. Since my sister was sent home from college, I was able to spend a lot more time with her. I also had a very easy end of the year because the remote learning assignments were very easy for me.

# data[].attributes.body
The spring remote learning experiences allowed me to form a stronger relationship with my family. We are usually really busy running from sport to sport. However, the spring introduced us to more family dinners and game nights, etc. I also enjoyed working from home. I used new tools and became a better online version of myself.
