Build a strong support system and take breaks between workload, don't overload yourself.

Be confident that you'll be able to work and manage the workload for the classes you take. It is also good to do homework together with your friends to make it more fun. That way you hang out and do something productive! Taking breaks between workloads and breaking it up is something that I found has helped me. ]]> 2021-03-17 03:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318768314 https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318769517 Counselors and friends are a great support system to work that out. They are there for a reason and make sure to utilize your resources. Involve yourself with the right people, study with friends and take deep breaths. For tests and homework, do a lot of practice material and ask your teachers for help if you have any problems. Writing down your worries and working on them is also a good tool. ]]> 2021-03-17 03:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318769517 https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318771027 Probably. Though, currently looks like vaccines are spreading so that won't be an issue. But there is the option for virtual and in-person if it happens. ]]> 2021-03-17 03:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318771027 https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318773224 The Langley administration works to make the environment as comfortable as possible, and the students are very nice!

Attend your four classes for the day based on even/odd. Lunch in the middle and then you stay for sports/extracurriculars or go home. When you're home, you'll likely have an hour or so of homework, and then you're free to do whatever you like!]]> 2021-03-17 03:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318773562 16838231 https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318779607 It’s true that there have been some suicides.  We don’t know the reasons why any person chooses suicide, but stress can be a cause for some kids.  
The high schools really emphasize the importance of balance – so kids don’t get overwhelmed in the first place.  
There are many solutions and resources to help with stress.
--Stress management classes and clubs
--Yoga 
--You can talk to one of us, YAC members, or friends 
--You can talk to a teacher, or your counselor, or your coach, or a club leader, or the nurse…or anybody on the staff, or your friends, or your parents 
--Take care of yourself and once again, utilize your resources. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it instead of keeping it inside. We try to make the highschool experience as comfortable of an environment as possible so don't be ashamed to ask for help. ]]> 2021-03-17 03:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318779607 16838231 https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1318781852 Friends make everything extremely fun.

However, as soon as you actually get into the school you will realize that it isn't scary at all. Movies, books, and TV shows dramatize and exaggerate the high school experiance. Just know that it isn't as crazy and hard as people make it out to be. When you get into the routine of everything, it feels very normal and you will be fine.]]> 2021-03-21 19:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1335116790 https://padlet.com/middle_school_forum/cooper_social/wish/1335121959 In a normal year, only seniors are allowed to park in the school parking lot with a permit.
