Integration sessions provide structured time for students to discuss and analyse their placement experiences with their teachers and peers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"\"><u><strong>Placement Component:&nbsp;</strong>students at their actual placement</u></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Through a series of interviews with the student, an appropriate placement is found.&nbsp; This process involves an assessment of the placement by the co-op teacher to determine suitability, and an interview of the student by the placement supervisor.&nbsp; After the successful completion of those two steps, the student can start to attend the placement.&nbsp; Throughout the semester, the Co-op teacher and the placement supervisor monitor and evaluate the student\'s progress.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>2.&nbsp; Does the student get paid?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Co-op students earn high school credits, but do not get paid. Some placement supervisors may choose to provide a modest honorarium or assist students with work related expenses ie: transportation, uniform, however, this is not common and is not expected.<br />\r\n&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>3. &nbsp;Can the student be hired by the placement?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The aim of Co-op is to earn credits while obtaining experience in the workplace. Many employers are not in the position to hire students and some employers leave a space open to accept co-op students on a regular basis. If a position does become available, students may accept the opportunity if it does not interfere with school hours and the Work Education Agreement.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>4. How does the student get to and from the placement?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Transportation to and from the placement is the responsibility of the student. The pre-placement component will assist the student to map out their bus route.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>5. Can Co-op hours be used as Community Involvement Hours?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Co-op and Community Involvement are not the same. Through co-op, students benefit by gaining personal work experience. Community Involvement hours, on the other hand, involve volunteer opportunities where the community benefits.&nbsp; These hours must be achieved outside of school hours and approved by Guidance before beginning the hours.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>6. Are students insured?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>A Work Education Agreement (WEA) is completed for each student and is signed by the student, co-op teacher, placement supervisor, and parent (if the student is under 18 years of age). Through the WEA, students are covered by WSIB (Workplace Safety Insurance Board) while at their placements. In addition, parents or students 18 or older may consider purchasing their own insurance.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>7. What if the student doesn\'t like his or her placement?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Prior to attending the placements, all students are interviewed by the co-op teacher in order to match students to placements. In addition, students attend approximately three weeks of pre-placement classes in order to prepare for their placement. Students who positively participate, communicate with co-workers; demonstrate on-going initiative and enthusiasm will be most successful in this partnership experience. When students sign the Work Education Agreement, they are making a commitment to this placement. It is very rare for students to be relocated. The co-op teacher will assist wherever possible to maximize learning and personal growth.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>8. Can a student be removed from the placement?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>If the student is not adjusting well to placement expectations, the employer has the right to dismiss the student. The aim is to give students a realistic work experience and help them understand what it takes to get and keep a job. The Co-operative Education program is providing students an opportunity to learn and grow while trying to meet realistic employment opportunities as experienced by all new employees. The co-op teacher will continue to work with this student. If the student is unwilling or unable to change his or her focus or behaviour, credits may be in jeopardy. If the student is able to make meaningful adjustments, a new placement may be found if time and circumstances permit.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>9. What is expected from placement supervisors?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Employers are expected to provide a realistic view of workplace expectations and offer guidance for educational growth. Workplace employees will demonstrate the attitudes and skills required of a successful and responsible employee in a safe and healthy environment. Employers will sign Ministry documents, complete Performance Appraisals, offer a learning environment, which includes job-specific health and safety training, and work in partnership with the co-op teacher to outline work expectations.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"\"><strong>10. Who ensures student safety?</strong></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The Co-op teacher is expected to provide general safety awareness training during pre-placement sessions. The employer should provide specific safety orientation and ongoing training. Students have the responsibility to wear personal protective equipment at all times, follow workplace guidelines and practices, and report any injuries or hazards.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"\"><strong>Information for Placement Supervisors</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;Co-operative Education is the school and community partners working together to provide a learning opportunity for students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><br />\r\n<strong>The benefits to placement supervisors include:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Opportunity to preview and train potential future employees</li>\r\n	<li>Develop supervisory skills in existing employees</li>\r\n	<li>Create an environment of community involvement</li>\r\n	<li>Share resources with Unionville High School</li>\r\n	<li>Help develop a positive student attitude to our community</li>\r\n	<li>Improve your communication with the local school</li>\r\n	<li>Contribute to youth employment in the community</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The responsibilities of placement supervisors include:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Interview the student to determine suitability</li>\r\n	<li>Deliver specific health and safety training as it relates to your business</li>\r\n	<li>Provide relevant experience in a safe learning environment</li>\r\n	<li>Develop learning expectations for the student, in collaboration with the co-op teacher and the student</li>\r\n	<li>Provide training and supervision</li>\r\n	<li>Assist the co-op teacher to complete assessments of the students performance</li>\r\n	<li>Verify student hours weekly by signing student log sheets</li>\r\n	<li>Encourage students to make connections in the community</li>\r\n	<li>Report concerns to the Co-op teacher</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"\"><strong>If you are interested in partnering with the Unionville High School Co-op Department, call 905-479-2787, Ext. 220</strong></p>\r\n', '', 'full_html'),

Below are a series of common parent and student questions about the OSSLT.</p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li><strong>What reading skills are evaluated on the test?</strong><br />\r\n	The test has multiple-choice and open-response questions that focus on the reading skills required in school and daily life:\r\n	<ul>\r\n		<li>understanding explicitly (directly) stated ideas and information;</li>\r\n		<li>understanding implicitly (indirectly) stated ideas and information and</li>\r\n		<li>making connections between information and ideas in a reading selection and personalknowledge and experience.</li>\r\n	</ul>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li><strong>What reading selections are included on the test?</strong><br />\r\n	The reading selections include the following: information paragraph, news report, dialogue, real-life narrative and graphic text (e.g., schedule). They vary in length from a single paragraph to two pages.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>What types of reading tasks do students complete?</strong><br />\r\n	Reading tasks include multiple choice and short (paragraph) answers.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>What writing skills are evaluated on the test?</strong><br />\r\n	The test has short- and long-writing tasks, and multiple-choice questions that focus on three writing skills required in school and daily life:\r\n	<ul>\r\n		<li>developing a main idea with sufficient supporting details;</li>\r\n		<li>organizing information and ideas in a coherent manner and</li>\r\n		<li>using conventions (spelling, grammar, punctuation) in a manner that does not distract from clear communication.<br />\r\n		&nbsp;</li>\r\n	</ul>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>What types of writing tasks do students complete?<br />\r\n	One of the tasks is writing a<strong>&nbsp;news report&nbsp;</strong>based on a picture and headline provided. Students make up facts and information to answer the questions Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? and write a one page report on the event. The audience is an adult reader of a newspaper.\r\n	<p>The other long-writing task is a&nbsp;<strong>series of paragraphs</strong>&nbsp;expressing an opinion on a given topic. Students develop a main idea with supporting details (proof, facts, examples, etc.) and write a minimum of three paragraphs on the two pages provided for the response. The audience is an adult who is interested in the opinion provided.</p>\r\n\r\n	<p>The short (paragraph)&nbsp;<strong>writing tasks</strong>&nbsp;give the student the opportunity to use his/her knowledge and personal experience while demonstrating his/her writing skills.</p>\r\n\r\n	<p>The&nbsp;<strong>multiple-choice questions</strong>&nbsp;give you the opportunity to demonstrate the three writing skills.</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Does each student have to write the OSSLT?</strong><br />\r\n	If a student entered Grade 9 in September 2000 or later and is working toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), the student must write the OSSLT. This applies to all students in publicly funded schools, private schools, overseas schools, correctional facilities and Section 23 programs.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Why does a student need to write the OSSLT?</strong><br />\r\n	A student needs to be sure he/she has the reading and writing skills that should have been acquired by the end of Grade 9, as outlined in The Ontario Curriculum. These skills are the basis for learning in all subject areas throughout both elementary and secondary school. Successful completion of the OSSLT meets one of the 32 requirements for the OSSD.&nbsp;<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Why do students write the OSSLT in Grade 10 instead of closer to graduation?</strong><br />\r\n	Writing now gives students the time to get help if needed to improve their reading and writing skills. If a student does not pass the OSSLT this year, he/she will have opportunities to retake it in future years.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Will the OSSLT count toward course marks?</strong><br />\r\n	No. Successful completion of the OSSLT is one of the 32 requirements for the OSSD. The test will not count toward course marks.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Will universities and colleges see OSSLT results?</strong><br />\r\n	Your secondary school transcript will indicate that you have completed the OSSLT as one of the 32 requirements for the OSSD.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Is the OSSLT difficult to pass?</strong><br />\r\n	The OSSLT is based on the reading and writing skills learned up until the end of Grade 9.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>If a student does not succeed, can I take the OSSLT again?</strong><br />\r\n	Yes. If a student does not succeed, he/she will have the opportunity to take the test again.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Can a student get an accommodation?</strong><br />\r\n	If a student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for classroom tests and assessments, he/she may be able to get an accommodation. For more information, visit EQAO’s Web site, www.eqao.com, and talk to your school principal and/or teacher (such as the Special Education Resource Teacher, Literacy Teacher, or Student Success Teacher).<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Can a student get an exemption?</strong><br />\r\n	To be eligible for an exemption, the student must have an IEP that clearly indicates that he/she is not working toward an OSSD. For more information, talk to your school principal and/or teacher (such as the Special Education Resource Teacher, Literacy Teacher, or Student Success Teacher), or visit EQAO’s Web site, www.eqao.com.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>A student is new to Ontario, and English is not his/her first language. Can he/she get a special provision or deferral?</strong><br />\r\n	A student may be able to get a special provision or deferral. For more information, talk to your school principal and/or teacher (such as the Literacy Teacher, Student Success Teacher or English as a Second Language Teacher), or visit EQAO’s Web site, www.eqao.com.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>What happens if a student leaves questions blank?</strong><br />\r\n	A student gets a score of zero for these questions.​</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n', '', 'full_html'),

Below are a series of common parent and student questions about the OSSLT.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>What reading skills are evaluated on the test?</b><br />\r\nThe test has multiple-choice and open-response questions that focus on the reading skills required in school and daily life:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>understanding explicitly (directly) stated ideas and information;</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>understanding implicitly (indirectly) stated ideas and information and</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>making connections between information and ideas in a reading selection and personal knowledge and experience.</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p><b>What reading selections are included on the test?</b><br />\r\nThe reading selections include the following: information paragraph, news report, dialogue, real-life narrative and graphic text (e.g., schedule). They vary in length from a single paragraph to two pages.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>What types of reading tasks do students complete?</b><br />\r\nReading tasks include multiple choice and short (paragraph) answers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>What writing skills are evaluated on the test?</b><br />\r\nThe test has short- and long-writing tasks, and multiple-choice questions that focus on three writing skills required in school and daily life:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>developing a main idea with sufficient supporting details;</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>organizing information and ideas in a coherent manner and</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>using conventions (spelling, grammar, punctuation) in a manner that does not distract from clear communication.</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p><b>What types of writing tasks do students complete?</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the tasks is writing a<b>&nbsp;news report&nbsp;</b>based on a picture and headline provided. Students make up facts and information to answer the questions Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? and write a one page report on the event. The audience is an adult reader of a newspaper.The other long-writing task is a&nbsp;<b>series of paragraphs</b>&nbsp;expressing an opinion on a given topic. Students develop a main idea with supporting details (proof, facts, examples, etc.) and write a minimum of three paragraphs on the two pages provided for the response. The audience is an adult who is interested in the opinion provided.<br />\r\nThe short (paragraph)&nbsp;<b>writing tasks</b>&nbsp;give the student the opportunity to use his/her knowledge and personal experience while demonstrating his/her writing skills.<br />\r\nThe&nbsp;<b>multiple-choice questions</b>&nbsp;give you the opportunity to demonstrate the three writing skills.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Does each student have to write the OSSLT?</b><br />\r\nIf a student entered Grade 9 in September 2000 or later and is working toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), the student must write the OSSLT. This applies to all students in publicly funded schools, private schools, overseas schools, correctional facilities and Section 23 programs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Why does a student need to write the OSSLT?</b><br />\r\nA student needs to be sure he/she has the reading and writing skills that should have been acquired by the end of Grade 9, as outlined in The Ontario Curriculum. These skills are the basis for learning in all subject areas throughout both elementary and secondary school. Successful completion of the OSSLT meets one of the 32 requirements for the OSSD.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Why do students write the OSSLT in Grade 10 instead of closer to graduation?</b><br />\r\nWriting now gives students the time to get help if needed to improve their reading and writing skills. If a student does not pass the OSSLT this year, he/she will have opportunities to retake it in future years.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Will the OSSLT count toward course marks?</b><br />\r\nNo. Successful completion of the OSSLT is one of the 32 requirements for the OSSD. The test will not count toward course marks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Will universities and colleges see OSSLT results?</b><br />\r\nYour secondary school transcript will indicate that you have completed the OSSLT as one of the 32 requirements for the OSSD.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Is the OSSLT difficult to pass?</b><br />\r\nThe OSSLT is based on the reading and writing skills learned up until the end of Grade 9.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>If a student does not succeed, can I take the OSSLT again?</b><br />\r\nYes. If a student does not succeed, he/she will have the opportunity to take the test again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Can a student get an accommodation?</b><br />\r\nIf a student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for classroom tests and assessments, he/she may be able to get an accommodation. For more information, visit EQAO’s Web site, www.eqao.com, and talk to your school principal and/or teacher (such as the Special Education Resource Teacher, Literacy Teacher, or Student Success Teacher).</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Can a student get an exemption?</b><br />\r\nTo be eligible for an exemption, the student must have an IEP that clearly indicates that he/she is not working toward an OSSD. For more information, talk to your school principal and/or teacher (such as the Special Education Resource Teacher, Literacy Teacher, or Student Success Teacher), or visit EQAO’s Web site, www.eqao.com.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>A student is new to Ontario, and English is not his/her first language. Can he/she get a special provision or deferral?</b><br />\r\nA student may be able to get a special provision or deferral.

It’s a test tactic that’s sure to get you a good score on your next test.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>4. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pay attention in class</strong><br />\r\nDespite what you may think, what the teachers are saying is important! &nbsp;Don’t bring electronic devices to class to distract you from learning. &nbsp;Using cell phones, listening to music, texting friends, etc. will negatively affect your ability to participate and learn in class. &nbsp;Show interest in learning.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>5. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Participate! &nbsp;Participate!! &nbsp;Participate!!!</strong><br />\r\nYou should participate actively in class discussions to learn more. &nbsp;You will absorb the information better, get teacher feedback, stay focussed longer, and be an active learner. &nbsp;By answering question in class you will reinforce your learning and concept attainment.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>6. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Organize Yourself and Your School Work</strong><br />\r\nOrganization is central to a successful career in high school. &nbsp;Here are some things you should keep organized and easy to find:<br />\r\n■Your course syllabus and class requirements<br />\r\n■Your class notes, records, tests and papers<br />\r\n■A to-do list and a calendar with due dates for school projects<br />\r\n■ Your room and homework space at home<br />\r\nOrganization also entails exercising good time management. Learn to be in control of your time, not the other way around. &nbsp;There are free time management courses online. &nbsp;Take one, or two.<br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>7. </strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong> Practise Healthy Habits: </strong>&nbsp;breakfast is a key element to your <strong>Eat Nutritious Food, Sleep Well, and Exercise Regularly</strong><br />\r\nBelieve it or not, daily functioning. &nbsp;According to Student Health Services Blog, school children perform better on a full stomach. &nbsp;Eat healthy. &nbsp;Get proper sleep. &nbsp;Exercise every day.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>8. </strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>Respect your teachers and classmates and develop good relationships</strong><br />\r\nYour teachers are giving their time to give you the information you need to pass their classes. Give them the time of day. You’re not the only who wakes up early every morning.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\nYour classmates are your partners in the learning process. &nbsp;Work cooperatively and respectfully with them. &nbsp;Do your part in group work, participate actively in class activities and bring your best to the table every day.<br />\r\nEstablish a good relationship with the teacher. High school teachers teach three classes every day, so it’s important to distinguish yourself. During the first week of school, introduce yourself. Let your teacher know that you are interested in her class, and welcome the opportunity to learn. Ask questions that show you’re paying attention. Parents should also introduce themselves, via e-mail or at Back-To-School night. Teachers respond well to students who show that they care about the class.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>9. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Come with a good attitude and a willingness to work diligently</strong><br />\r\nYou’re getting an education. What could put you in a better mood! Not to mention your attitude affects your focus and your performance in class.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>10. &nbsp; Try your Hardest. &nbsp;Set goals and high standards for yourself.</strong><br />\r\nThis is definitely one of the key ingredients for success. &nbsp;You must work hard and be an <strong>independent learner</strong>. &nbsp;You are responsible for your own successes and failures. &nbsp;Set goals and stick to them. &nbsp;Watch the Les Brown video on why people fail.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>11. &nbsp; Get help fast.</strong><br />\r\nIf a student realizes that something is difficult, he should seek as much help as possible as quickly as possible. Teachers are very receptive to requests for extra help. Straighten out misunderstandings before they start to snowball.<br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>12. &nbsp; Don’t swallow your questions.</strong><br />\r\nQuestions are the vehicle by which we learn. If you have one, ask it. Chances are that many of the students have the same question. Saying it out loud will help you, your classmates, and the teacher. Asking good questions is a lifelong skill, and school is a safe place to practice. The more questions we ask, the easier it gets. Teachers respect all questions. Giving 100% in your classes will help you to succeed.<br />\r\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>13. &nbsp; Get Involved! &nbsp;Get a List of School Clubs and Extracurricular Activities &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong><br />\r\nWhether it is joining a club or a sport, getting involved in school is a great way to make new friends and easing the pressure of a new school. &nbsp;Good leadership skills are very important for the success of individuals, companies and our communities. &nbsp;This is why colleges and universities value your leadership experiences in high school and within your community. &nbsp;To help build your leadership skills, you’ll need to find opportunities to learn and exercise your skills. &nbsp;School clubs, extracurricular activities and after-school programs provide students with these opportunities.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\nTo join a school club, find out what types of clubs are offered in your school. &nbsp;Next, evaluate which of the clubs listed really interest you. Don’t join a club or an activity because you want to list this experience in your college application. &nbsp;It is best to find something that you really enjoy, because you’ll be more likely to commit to that activity long term. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>14. &nbsp; Get to know you Guidance Counsellor and Build a Relationship</strong><br />\r\nBuilding a good relationship with your school guidance counsellor is key for many reasons. &nbsp;Guidance counsellors serve many roles in your academic career in high school. &nbsp;They guide and advice you with courses and curriculum; they assist you with class/course issues; they provide academic support; and they can recommend you for extracurricular/academic programs and awards. &nbsp;In other words, a good guidance counsellor that has your best interest in mind is, without doubt, your best friend in high school.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\nTo help your guidance counsellor get to know you well, establish a relationship with him/her as early as possible. &nbsp;Drop by his office and introduce yourself. &nbsp;Tell your guidance counsellor a little about yourself and what you hope to do while you’re in high school (e.g., play sports, learn an instrument, work on the school newspaper). Be assertive. &nbsp;Ask your guidance counsellor if she’s heard of any new opportunities that you might benefit from, such as a summer program scholarship or an afterschool enrichment program. &nbsp;Overall, be resourceful. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />\r\n&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>15. &nbsp; Look for Special or Advanced School Programs that Will Help You Stand Out</strong><br />\r\n&nbsp;Explore which advanced or special programs are offered in your high school. &nbsp;Many of these programs are not well advertised, so you’ll need to do some leg work. Does your school have a &nbsp;good Drama Club or Music Program? &nbsp;What about a Debate Team? &nbsp;College and University admissions officers value transcripts with challenging courses; it suggests that you’re<br />\r\nacademically motivated, smart, and studious. &nbsp;They also look closely at your extracurricular activities, especially if it is a highly competitive program or you’re applying for a scholarship.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>16. &nbsp; De-Stress </strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\nPractise positive self-talk, meditation, yoga, and regular exercise. &nbsp;Learn how<br />\r\nto cope with stress and create conditions that reduce the stress in your life.&nbsp;<br />\r\nBe organized. &nbsp;Be positive. &nbsp;See the glass as half full rather than half empty.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>17. &nbsp; Explore Summer Programs and Opportunities</strong><br />\r\nColleges and Universities want to see how you’re spending your time off from school. &nbsp;<br />\r\nThere are hundreds of summer programs catering to high school students, from academic enrichment programs in colleges, to international volunteer experiences. &nbsp;Whatever you do, make sure you spend at least 4 weeks of your summer vacation doing something that is productive, intellectually stimulating or community-minded.&nbsp;<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\nNow, you don’t need to go to Africa or Guatemala and help build houses or teach English as a Second Language to impress college admissions officers. Working at your family’s store; volunteering at a local community program; or taking a free online course are all excellent summer activities. &nbsp;Whatever you do, make sure you’ll be able to articulate that summer experience as something that helped you grow and learn. &nbsp;Watch the “Me to We” video.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>18. &nbsp; Hang Out with the Right Crowd</strong><br />\r\nMany teens in high school feel pressured to make friends or hang out with particular crowds. It is very natural to want to be liked by others and be part of a social group. &nbsp;But ultimately, what matters most is choosing friends that are not going to get in the way of your goals. &nbsp;For that reason, make friends with kids who have things/goals/dreams in common with you. &nbsp;Hang out with kids that are mature for their age, kind and easy to be around.&nbsp;<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>19. &nbsp; Find a friend to be your study partner.</strong><br />\r\nWe all have reasons for legitimate absences. So find a friend who will take good notes when you’re gone and will call that night to fill you in on the homework. This is good practice for the real world, where building positive relationships is necessary to thrive. In more advanced classes, it’s a good idea to build a study group to practice for tests.<br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>20. &nbsp; Push yourself – Challenge Yourself</strong><br />\r\nWhat’s life without challenges? &nbsp;As you begin your first year in high school, don’t take short cuts. &nbsp;Challenge yourself to be the best you can be. &nbsp;Look for ways to outdo yourself. &nbsp;Set high standards and high goals for yourself. &nbsp; You are in control of your own destiny. &nbsp;Only by pushing yourself, you’ll see how far you can go.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>21. &nbsp; Don’t Give Up</strong><br />\r\nStay positive. &nbsp;Everyone has setbacks. &nbsp;One bad mark isn’t the end of the world. &nbsp;There are many chances for you to shine in every course. &nbsp;The exam isn’t everything. &nbsp;You have evaluations throughout the semester. &nbsp;Look at failures and setbacks as learning opportunities and chances for continuous improvement. &nbsp; Having grit and resilience will help you achieve success. &nbsp;Watch the Michael Jordon video.&nbsp;<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>22. &nbsp; Know Your Community</strong><br />\r\nGet involved in the community and local events. &nbsp;Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn about Canada and our multicultural society. &nbsp;Explore new cultures and try new things. &nbsp;Meet people from different cultures and learn about different perspectives. &nbsp;Read the local newspaper, join activities in the community, travel and get to know everything you can about Canada. &nbsp;Develop your cultural literacy.<br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>23. &nbsp; Develop your Critical Thinking Skills</strong><br />\r\nYour teachers will encourage you to analyze, question, and evaluate different perspectives. &nbsp;As a society, we value creativity and originality. &nbsp;Problem solving and higher level thinking are required for academic success. &nbsp; Develop your ability to ask questions and accept alternative viewpoints.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>24. &nbsp; Practise your English</strong><br />\r\nThe only way to become fluent in a language is to use the language on a regular basis. &nbsp;Practise your English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills as much as possible. &nbsp;Speak English at home, with your friends, and in the community. &nbsp;Watch English movies and television. &nbsp;Read the newspaper and discuss current events with your family members and friends<br />\r\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>Parent/Guardian Involvement and School Success</strong><br />\r\nWe must engage our children early and we must help them develop an early mindset that that education is important. We know that the right type of parental involvement is critical to our children’s academic success. Parents are their children’s first teacher.<br />\r\nHere are my top ten tips to help parents make the grade and help our students succeed:<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>1. Stress being on time and attendance!</strong>” Research shows that school attendance is the single most important factor in your child’s school success. Being late just ten minutes each day means 30 hours of lost instruction time each year. So avoid scheduling doctor’s appointments or family trips during those school hours. Teach your child to set an alarm clock so he can take responsibility for his own wake ups and you can stop playing Big Ben. But do what it takes to make sure your child’s in class on time and ready to learn.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>2. Prioritize schoolwork</strong>. Stress that school and homework comes before friends, a job, or sports. Limit or restrict TV, videogames and movies during school nights. Set high expectations that you expect your child to do his schoolwork to the best of his ability, and then make sure he does by following through. If he doesn’t-set a consequence. (Hint: Teens who did not graduate from high school say they would have preferred that their parents were stricter and demanded more of them in their learning). Set high educational aspirations for your child.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>3. Be involved from the get go!</strong> Know what’s going on in your child’s school and classroom. Monitor your child’s school progress. Read the school newsletters, volunteer, show up to school events, and answer each communication. Check your child’s work, but don’t do it for her!<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>4. Partner with the teacher.</strong> Show up to every parent conference and back-to-school-event. Call for an appointment if you see your child struggling.<br />\r\nMaintain ongoing communication with the teacher and the school. Stay connected! Don’t let that report card surprise you. Know how your child is doing.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>5. Show daily interest. </strong>Create daily rituals such as in the car pool, during the family meal or every night before your child goes to bed to discuss school. Ask: “What did you do in school?” not “How did you do?” Don’t let a day go by that you don’t talk about what happened in your child’s classroom and what he’s learning.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>6. Support your child’s school activity participation.</strong> Kids who feel connected to their school are more likely to have better grades as well as graduate. Encourage your child to participate in school activities that match his/her interests such as football, the chess club, band, or theatre, and then cheer him on.<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>7. Applaud effort!</strong> Acknowledge hard work and persistence not just the grade or the outcome. Use specific praise about a task so your child knows what he did right to help stretch his inner motivation. The single greatest correlation to success in life is not the child’s grade but his/her persistence. Emphasize the effort!<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>8. Be a role model</strong>. Read in front of your kids. Check out books from the library. Talk about the importance of education. Have books available so your kids see that reading is important. Let your kids see that you aren’t derailed by a mistake, and problem solve to work things through. Be an example of hard work and persistence so your child has a model to copy. &nbsp;Practise speaking English at home and reading in English to encourage your child to speak and read in English. &nbsp;Practise makes perfect.&nbsp;<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>9. Pass on high educational aspirations. </strong>Be clear that you value learning and why education is crucial. Your child must understand it is important to work hard and how his effort will pay off later. From an early age talk to your child about his future education plans in “when” not “if” term: “When you graduate from high school…” and “When you go to college…”<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\n<strong>10. Get help so your child succeeds!</strong> If your child is struggling with his learning don’t wait to get help. Call the school and talk to the teacher. Ask to speak with the counsellor or school psychologist. Your goal is to create the best plan to help your child’s learning steadily progress and reduce frustrations so he feels successful. Don’t give up!<br />\r\n&nbsp;<br />\r\nDr. Michele Borba, Parenting Expert</div>\r\n', '', 'full_html');

High school teachers teach three classes every day, so it’s important to distinguish yourself. During the first week of school, introduce yourself. Let your teacher know that you are interested in her class, and welcome the opportunity to learn. Ask questions that show you’re paying attention. Parents should also introduce themselves, via e-mail or at Back-To-School night. Teachers respond well to students who show that they care about the class.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>9.&nbsp; Come with a good attitude and a willingness to work diligently</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You’re getting an education.

If you have one, ask it. Chances are that many of the students have the same question. Saying it out loud will help you, your classmates, and the teacher. Asking good questions is a lifelong skill, and school is a safe place to practice. The more questions we ask, the easier it gets. Teachers respect all questions. Giving 100% in your classes will help you to succeed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>13.&nbsp; Get Involved! &nbsp;Get a List of School Clubs and Extracurricular Activities &nbsp; &nbsp;</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whether it is joining a club or a sport, getting involved in school is a great way to make new friends and easing the pressure of a new school. &nbsp;Good leadership skills are very important for the success of individuals, companies and our communities. &nbsp;This is why colleges and universities value your leadership experiences in high school and within your community. &nbsp;To help build your leadership skills, you’ll need to find opportunities to learn and exercise your skills. &nbsp;School clubs, extracurricular activities and after-school programs provide students with these opportunities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To join a school club, find out what types of clubs are offered in your school. &nbsp;Next, evaluate which of the clubs listed really interest you. Don’t join a club or an activity because you want to list this experience in your college application. &nbsp;It is best to find something that you really enjoy, because you’ll be more likely to commit to that activity long term.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>14.&nbsp; Get to know you Guidance Counsellor and Build a Relationship</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Building a good relationship with your school guidance counsellor is key for many reasons. &nbsp;Guidance counsellors serve many roles in your academic career in high school. &nbsp;They guide and advice you with courses and curriculum; they assist you with class/course issues; they provide academic support; and they can recommend you for extracurricular/academic programs and awards. &nbsp;In other words, a good guidance counsellor that has your best interest in mind is, without doubt, your best friend in high school.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To help your guidance counsellor get to know you well, establish a relationship with him/her as early as possible. &nbsp;Drop by his office and introduce yourself. &nbsp;Tell your guidance counsellor a little about yourself and what you hope to do while you’re in high school (e.g., play sports, learn an instrument, work on the school newspaper). Be assertive. &nbsp;Ask your guidance counsellor if she’s heard of any new opportunities that you might benefit from, such as a summer program scholarship or an afterschool enrichment program. &nbsp;Overall, be resourceful.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>15.&nbsp; Look for Special or Advanced School Programs that Will Help You Stand Out</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;Explore which advanced or special programs are offered in your high school. &nbsp;Many of these programs are not well advertised, so you’ll need to do some leg work. Does your school have a &nbsp;good Drama Club or Music Program? &nbsp;What about a Debate Team? &nbsp;College and University admissions officers value transcripts with challenging courses; it suggests that you’re</p>\r\n\r\n<p>academically motivated, smart, and studious. &nbsp;They also look closely at your extracurricular activities, especially if it is a highly competitive program or you’re applying for a scholarship.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>16.&nbsp; De-Stress </b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Practise positive self-talk, meditation, yoga, and regular exercise. &nbsp;Learn how to cope with stress and create conditions that reduce the stress in your life.&nbsp;Be organized. &nbsp;Be positive. &nbsp;See the glass as half full rather than half empty.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>17.&nbsp; Explore Summer Programs and Opportunities</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Colleges and Universities want to see how you’re spending your time off from school. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are hundreds of summer programs catering to high school students, from academic enrichment programs in colleges, to international volunteer experiences. &nbsp;Whatever you do, make sure you spend at least 4 weeks of your summer vacation doing something that is productive, intellectually stimulating or community-minded.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, you don’t need to go to Africa or Guatemala and help build houses or teach English as a Second Language to impress college admissions officers. Working at your family’s store; volunteering at a local community program; or taking a free online course are all excellent summer activities. &nbsp;Whatever you do, make sure you’ll be able to articulate that summer experience as something that helped you grow and learn. &nbsp;Watch the “Me to We” video.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>18.&nbsp; Hang Out with the Right Crowd</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many teens in high school feel pressured to make friends or hang out with particular crowds. It is very natural to want to be liked by others and be part of a social group. &nbsp;But ultimately, what matters most is choosing friends that are not going to get in the way of your goals. &nbsp;For that reason, make friends with kids who have things/goals/dreams in common with you. Hang out with kids that are mature for their age, kind and easy to be around.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>19.&nbsp; Find a friend to be your study partner.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We all have reasons for legitimate absences. So find a friend who will take good notes when you’re gone and will call that night to fill you in on the homework. This is good practice for the real world, where building positive relationships is necessary to thrive. In more advanced classes, it’s a good idea to build a study group to practice for tests.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>20.&nbsp; Push yourself – Challenge Yourself</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>What’s life without challenges? &nbsp;As you begin your first year in high school, don’t take short cuts. &nbsp;Challenge yourself to be the best you can be. &nbsp;Look for ways to outdo yourself. &nbsp;Set high standards and high goals for yourself. &nbsp; You are in control of your own destiny. &nbsp;Only by pushing yourself, you’ll see how far you can go.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>21.&nbsp; Don’t Give Up</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Stay positive. &nbsp;Everyone has setbacks. &nbsp;One bad mark isn’t the end of the world. &nbsp;There are many chances for you to shine in every course. &nbsp;The exam isn’t everything. &nbsp;You have evaluations throughout the semester. &nbsp;Look at failures and setbacks as learning opportunities and chances for continuous improvement. &nbsp; Having grit and resilience will help you achieve success. &nbsp;Watch the Michael Jordon video.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>22.&nbsp; Know Your Community</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Get involved in the community and local events. &nbsp;Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn about Canada and our multicultural society. &nbsp;Explore new cultures and try new things. &nbsp;Meet people from different cultures and learn about different perspectives. &nbsp;Read the local newspaper, join activities in the community, travel and get to know everything you can about Canada. &nbsp;Develop your cultural literacy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>23.&nbsp; Develop your Critical Thinking Skills</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your teachers will encourage you to analyze, question, and evaluate different perspectives. &nbsp;As a society, we value creativity and originality. &nbsp;Problem solving and higher level thinking are required for academic success. &nbsp; Develop your ability to ask questions and accept alternative viewpoints.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>24.&nbsp; Practise your English</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The only way to become fluent in a language is to use the language on a regular basis. &nbsp;Practise your English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills as much as possible. &nbsp;Speak English at home, with your friends, and in the community. &nbsp;Watch English movies and television. &nbsp;Read the newspaper and discuss current events with your family members and friends</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4><b>Parent/Guardian Involvement and School Success</b></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>We must engage our children early and we must help them develop an early mindset that that education is important. We know that the right type of parental involvement is critical to our children’s academic success. Parents are their children’s first teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are my top ten tips to help parents make the grade and help our students succeed:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>1.&nbsp; Stress being on time and attendance!</b>” Research shows that school attendance is the single most important factor in your child’s school success. Being late just ten minutes each day means 30 hours of lost instruction time each year. So avoid scheduling doctor’s appointments or family trips during those school hours. Teach your child to set an alarm clock so he can take responsibility for his own wake ups and you can stop playing Big Ben. But do what it takes to make sure your child’s in class on time and ready to learn.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>2.&nbsp; Prioritize schoolwork</b>. Stress that school and homework comes before friends, a job, or sports. Limit or restrict TV, videogames and movies during school nights. Set high expectations that you expect your child to do his schoolwork to the best of his ability, and then make sure he does by following through. If he doesn’t-set a consequence. (Hint: Teens who did not graduate from high school say they would have preferred that their parents were stricter and demanded more of them in their learning). Set high educational aspirations for your child.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>3.&nbsp; Be involved from the get go!</b> Know what’s going on in your child’s school and classroom. Monitor your child’s school progress. Read the school newsletters, volunteer, show up to school events, and answer each communication. Check your child’s work, but don’t do it for her!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>4.&nbsp; Partner with the teacher.</b> Show up to every parent conference and back-to-school-event. Call for an appointment if you see your child struggling.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Maintain ongoing communication with the teacher and the school. Stay connected! Don’t let that report card surprise you. Know how your child is doing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>5.&nbsp; Show daily interest. </b>Create daily rituals such as in the car pool, during the family meal or every night before your child goes to bed to discuss school. Ask: “What did you do in school?” not “How did you do?” Don’t let a day go by that you don’t talk about what happened in your child’s classroom and what he’s learning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>6.&nbsp; Support your child’s school activity participation.</b> Kids who feel connected to their school are more likely to have better grades as well as graduate. Encourage your child to participate in school activities that match his/her interests such as football, the chess club, band, or theatre, and then cheer him on.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>7.&nbsp; Applaud effort!</b> Acknowledge hard work and persistence not just the grade or the outcome. Use specific praise about a task so your child knows what he did right to help stretch his inner motivation. The single greatest correlation to success in life is not the child’s grade but his/her persistence. Emphasize the effort!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>8.&nbsp; Be a role model</b>. Read in front of your kids. Check out books from the library. Talk about the importance of education. Have books available so your kids see that reading is important. Let your kids see that you aren’t derailed by a mistake, and problem solve to work things through. Be an example of hard work and persistence so your child has a model to copy. &nbsp;Practise speaking English at home and reading in English to encourage your child to speak and read in English. &nbsp;Practise makes perfect.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>9.&nbsp; Pass on high educational aspirations. </b>Be clear that you value learning and why education is crucial. Your child must understand it is important to work hard and how his effort will pay off later. From an early age talk to your child about his future education plans in “when” not “if” term: “When you graduate from high school…” and “When you go to college…”</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>10.&nbsp; Get help so your child succeeds!</b> If your child is struggling with his learning don’t wait to get help. Call the school and talk to the teacher. Ask to speak with the counsellor or school psychologist. Your goal is to create the best plan to help your child’s learning steadily progress and reduce frustrations so he feels successful. Don’t give up!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><u>Dr. Michele Borba, Parenting Expert</u></p>\r\n</div>\r\n', '', 'full_html'),

Does your school have a &nbsp;good Drama Club or Music Program? &nbsp;What about a Debate Team? &nbsp;College and University admissions officers value transcripts with challenging courses; it suggests that you’re academically motivated, smart, and studious. &nbsp;They also look closely at your extracurricular activities, especially if it is a highly competitive program or you’re applying for a scholarship.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>16.&nbsp; De-Stress </b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Practise positive self-talk, meditation, yoga, and regular exercise. &nbsp;Learn how to cope with stress and create conditions that reduce the stress in your life.&nbsp;Be organized. &nbsp;Be positive. &nbsp;See the glass as half full rather than half empty.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>17.&nbsp; Explore Summer Programs and Opportunities</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Colleges and Universities want to see how you’re spending your time off from school. &nbsp;There are hundreds of summer programs catering to high school students, from academic enrichment programs in colleges, to international volunteer experiences. &nbsp;Whatever you do, make sure you spend at least 4 weeks of your summer vacation doing something that is productive, intellectually stimulating or community-minded.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, you don’t need to go to Africa or Guatemala and help build houses or teach English as a Second Language to impress college admissions officers.

It is very natural to want to be liked by others and be part of a social group. &nbsp;But ultimately, what matters most is choosing friends that are not going to get in the way of your goals. &nbsp;For that reason, make friends with kids who have things/goals/dreams in common with you. Hang out with kids that are mature for their age, kind and easy to be around.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>19.&nbsp; Find a friend to be your study partner.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We all have reasons for legitimate absences. So find a friend who will take good notes when you’re gone and will call that night to fill you in on the homework. This is good practice for the real world, where building positive relationships is necessary to thrive. In more advanced classes, it’s a good idea to build a study group to practice for tests.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>20.&nbsp; Push yourself – Challenge Yourself</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>What’s life without challenges? &nbsp;As you begin your first year in high school, don’t take short cuts. &nbsp;Challenge yourself to be the best you can be. &nbsp;Look for ways to outdo yourself. &nbsp;Set high standards and high goals for yourself. &nbsp; You are in control of your own destiny. &nbsp;Only by pushing yourself, you’ll see how far you can go.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>21.&nbsp; Don’t Give Up</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Stay positive. &nbsp;Everyone has setbacks. &nbsp;One bad mark isn’t the end of the world. &nbsp;There are many chances for you to shine in every course. &nbsp;The exam isn’t everything. &nbsp;You have evaluations throughout the semester. &nbsp;Look at failures and setbacks as learning opportunities and chances for continuous improvement. &nbsp; Having grit and resilience will help you achieve success. &nbsp;Watch the Michael Jordon video.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>22.&nbsp; Know Your Community</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Get involved in the community and local events. &nbsp;Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn about Canada and our multicultural society. &nbsp;Explore new cultures and try new things. Meet people from different cultures and learn about different perspectives. &nbsp;Read the local newspaper, join activities in the community, travel and get to know everything you can about Canada. &nbsp;Develop your cultural literacy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>23.&nbsp; Develop your Critical Thinking Skills</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your teachers will encourage you to analyze, question, and evaluate different perspectives.&nbsp; As a society, we value creativity and originality. &nbsp;Problem solving and higher level thinking are required for academic success. &nbsp; Develop your ability to ask questions and accept alternative viewpoints.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>24.&nbsp; Practise your English</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The only way to become fluent in a language is to use the language on a regular basis. Practise your English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills as much as possible. Speak English at home, with your friends, and in the community. &nbsp;Watch English movies and television. &nbsp;Read the newspaper and discuss current events with your family members and friends</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4><b>Parent/Guardian Involvement and School Success</b></h4>\r\n\r\n<p>We must engage our children early and we must help them develop an early mindset that that education is important. We know that the right type of parental involvement is critical to our children’s academic success. Parents are their children’s first teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are my top ten tips to help parents make the grade and help our students succeed:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>1.&nbsp; Stress being on time and attendance!</b>” Research shows that school attendance is the single most important factor in your child’s school success. Being late just ten minutes each day means 30 hours of lost instruction time each year. So avoid scheduling doctor’s appointments or family trips during those school hours. Teach your child to set an alarm clock so he can take responsibility for his own wake ups and you can stop playing Big Ben. But do what it takes to make sure your child’s in class on time and ready to learn.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>2.&nbsp; Prioritize schoolwork</b>. Stress that school and homework comes before friends, a job, or sports. Limit or restrict TV, videogames and movies during school nights. Set high expectations that you expect your child to do his schoolwork to the best of his ability, and then make sure he does by following through. If he doesn’t-set a consequence. (Hint: Teens who did not graduate from high school say they would have preferred that their parents were stricter and demanded more of them in their learning). Set high educational aspirations for your child.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>3.&nbsp; Be involved from the get go!</b> Know what’s going on in your child’s school and classroom. Monitor your child’s school progress. Read the school newsletters, volunteer, show up to school events, and answer each communication. Check your child’s work, but don’t do it for her!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>4.&nbsp; Partner with the teacher.</b> Show up to every parent conference and back-to-school-event. Call for an appointment if you see your child struggling.&nbsp; Maintain ongoing communication with the teacher and the school. Stay connected! Don’t let that report card surprise you. Know how your child is doing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>5.&nbsp; Show daily interest. </b>Create daily rituals such as in the car pool, during the family meal or every night before your child goes to bed to discuss school. Ask: “What did you do in school?” not “How did you do?” Don’t let a day go by that you don’t talk about what happened in your child’s classroom and what he’s learning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>6.&nbsp; Support your child’s school activity participation.</b> Kids who feel connected to their school are more likely to have better grades as well as graduate. Encourage your child to participate in school activities that match his/her interests such as football, the chess club, band, or theatre, and then cheer him on.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>7.&nbsp; Applaud effort!</b> Acknowledge hard work and persistence not just the grade or the outcome. Use specific praise about a task so your child knows what he did right to help stretch his inner motivation. The single greatest correlation to success in life is not the child’s grade but his/her persistence. Emphasize the effort!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>8.&nbsp; Be a role model</b>. Read in front of your kids. Check out books from the library. Talk about the importance of education. Have books available so your kids see that reading is important. Let your kids see that you aren’t derailed by a mistake, and problem solve to work things through. Be an example of hard work and persistence so your child has a model to copy. &nbsp;Practise speaking English at home and reading in English to encourage your child to speak and read in English. &nbsp;Practise makes perfect.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>9.&nbsp; Pass on high educational aspirations. </b>Be clear that you value learning and why education is crucial. Your child must understand it is important to work hard and how his effort will pay off later. From an early age talk to your child about his future education plans in “when” not “if” term: “When you graduate from high school…” and “When you go to college…”</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>10.&nbsp; Get help so your child succeeds!</b> If your child is struggling with his learning don’t wait to get help. Call the school and talk to the teacher. Ask to speak with the counsellor or school psychologist. Your goal is to create the best plan to help your child’s learning steadily progress and reduce frustrations so he feels successful. Don’t give up!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><u>Dr. Michele Borba, Parenting Expert</u></p>\r\n</div>\r\n', '', 'full_html');

It’s a test tactic that’s sure to get you a good score on your next test.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>4.&nbsp; Pay attention in class</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Despite what you may think, what the teachers are saying is important! &nbsp;Don’t bring electronic devices to class to distract you from learning. &nbsp;Using cell phones, listening to music, texting friends, etc. will negatively affect your ability to participate and learn in class. &nbsp;Show interest in learning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>5.&nbsp; Participate! &nbsp;Participate!! &nbsp;Participate!!!</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You should participate actively in class discussions to learn more. &nbsp;You will absorb the information better, get teacher feedback, stay focussed longer, and be an active learner. &nbsp;By answering question in class you will reinforce your learning and concept attainment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>6.&nbsp; Organize Yourself and Your School Work</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Organization is central to a successful career in high school. &nbsp;Here are some things you should keep organized and easy to find:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>Your course syllabus and class requirements</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>Your class notes, records, tests and papers</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>A to-do list and a calendar with due dates for school projects</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n	<p>Your room and homework space at home</p>\r\n	</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Organization also entails exercising good time management. Learn to be in control of your time, not the other way around. &nbsp;There are free time management courses online. &nbsp;Take one, or two.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><b>Practise Healthy Habits: </b>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Believe it or not, breakfast is a key element to your daily functioning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><u>Eat Nutritious Food, Sleep Well, and Exercise Regularly</u></p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to Student Health Services Blog, school children perform better on a full stomach. Eat healthy. &nbsp;Get proper sleep. &nbsp;Exercise every day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><b>Respect your teachers and classmates and develop good relationships</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your teachers are giving their time to give you the information you need to pass their classes. Give them the time of day. You’re not the only who wakes up early every morning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your classmates are your partners in the learning process. &nbsp;Work cooperatively and respectfully with them. &nbsp;Do your part in group work, participate actively in class activities and bring your best to the table every day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Establish a good relationship with the teacher. High school teachers teach three classes every day, so it’s important to distinguish yourself. During the first week of school, introduce yourself. Let your teacher know that you are interested in her class, and welcome the opportunity to learn. Ask questions that show you’re paying attention. Parents should also introduce themselves, via e-mail or at Back-To-School night. Teachers respond well to students who show that they care about the class.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>9.&nbsp; Come with a good attitude and a willingness to work diligently</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You’re getting an education. What could put you in a better mood! Not to mention your attitude affects your focus and your performance in class.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>10.&nbsp; Try your Hardest. &nbsp;Set goals and high standards for yourself.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is definitely one of the key ingredients for success. &nbsp;You must work hard and be an <u>independent learner</u>. &nbsp;You are responsible for your own successes and failures. &nbsp;Set goals and stick to them. &nbsp;Watch the Les Brown video on why people fail.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>11.&nbsp; Get help fast.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If a student realizes that something is difficult, he should seek as much help as possible as quickly as possible. Teachers are very receptive to requests for extra help. Straighten out misunderstandings before they start to snowball.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>12.&nbsp; Don’t swallow your questions.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Questions are the vehicle by which we learn. If you have one, ask it. Chances are that many of the students have the same question. Saying it out loud will help you, your classmates, and the teacher. Asking good questions is a lifelong skill, and school is a safe place to practice. The more questions we ask, the easier it gets. Teachers respect all questions. Giving 100% in your classes will help you to succeed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>13.&nbsp; Get Involved! &nbsp;Get a List of School Clubs and Extracurricular Activities &nbsp; &nbsp;</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whether it is joining a club or a sport, getting involved in school is a great way to make new friends and easing the pressure of a new school. &nbsp;Good leadership skills are very important for the success of individuals, companies and our communities. &nbsp;This is why colleges and universities value your leadership experiences in high school and within your community. &nbsp;To help build your leadership skills, you’ll need to find opportunities to learn and exercise your skills. School clubs, extracurricular activities and after-school programs provide students with these opportunities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To join a school club, find out what types of clubs are offered in your school. &nbsp;Next, evaluate which of the clubs listed really interest you. Don’t join a club or an activity because you want to list this experience in your college application. &nbsp;It is best to find something that you really enjoy, because you’ll be more likely to commit to that activity long term.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>14.&nbsp; Get to know you Guidance Counsellor and Build a Relationship</b></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Building a good relationship with your school guidance counsellor is key for many reasons.
