No need to change your likes to match your friends, what you like is your opinion. You shouldn’t have to change that.

Julia

juliag2339 — 2026-05-28 19:53:51 UTC

It is best to arrive at 8:00am as the bell has rung so you don’t have to wait outside the gates for a long time but you still have time to talk to friends and new people.

Take it from someone who was the most scared on the first day of school, Hewes might seem big but it will truly become your home. The people, staff, and of course your friends will always stand behind you. Ensure the you are respectful to your teachers and they will be respectful back. Also if you are reading this it means you got the best possible core teacher.

Dania

Bradley

2026-05-28 19:55:18 UTC

Always have led for a mechanical pencil or a sharpener for a normal pencil. Don’t bring a sharpie but bring highlighters, and colorful pencils and pens for color coding. Bring a glue stick or maybe 2 because it will run out. And be organized when in school with a binder and binder dividers.

Lucy
