Do's and Don'ts of middle school. Be friendly.
Being friendly can really make a difference in
someone day so a simple smile, wave,
or hello can cheer someone up. Don't
step on the grass. When you hear this rule you
probably think it's crazy but the custodians
work very hard at keeping this campus clean
and nice so if everyone steps on the same part of
the grass then the grass will end up turning into dirt
And here at Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School we
want to keep our campus in its beautiful state
so please do your part and don't step on the grass.
Don't procrastinate. "Oh my gosh
I didn't do my homework! I
I didn't do my homework. Noooo!"
Work can easily pile up so
procrastinating can lead you to doing everything at the
end rushing and ending up with a bad grade due to that.
So just don't procrastinate. Stay
organized. Staying organized
can help to make sure that your work doesn't pile up.
Don't chew gum. Like most
schools chewing gum isn't allowed. Chewing
gum results in the sidewalks and desks being
littered with nasty old gum and we don't want that. If
you see trash in the ground pick it up.
This will also help to keep our campus clean.
Common concerns. Being
on time is probably one of your concerns. Here at
Chiefess in between your different classes
you have 3 minutes to get to your next class.
You may be thinking that 3 minutes is too short but
it's actually pretty long and I guarantee that you
will get to your class on time but make sure that you don't
hang out or talk to your friends after the bell rings.
You will have recess for that so there's no need
to worry. Another thing that troubles many
new students is navigating the school's campus.
This school is bigger and new so it'll
take some getting used to. There are a lot of classrooms
which means that students do end up getting lost.
if you do don't worry
teachers and other students will understand and can
help you out. Homework is probably one of
your next concerns. Having up to nine teachers
is a lot to juggle already, but getting homework
for all of those classes is even more difficult to juggle.
But your classes are split up into two different
days. There are "A" days for your periods 1 2
3 4 and 5 and there
are "B" days that include your periods 1 6
7 8 and 9. This
gives you at least two days to finish your homework. Since
the school is larger and there are more people
you might be a little intimidated by everyone.
Take for example the 8th graders. Don't
worry because most are friendly and willing to help
you out. Another concern is about friends and bullies.
You will make many new friends and
unfortunately most people move on from old ones
but don't worry, it's normal to have your
friends change as you grow and get older. There
are always going to be mean people who tease. There
are counselors, teachers and other adults who you can
tell and get help from. "Don't be a bully, be
nice."Passing Classes.
You have more subjects and more subjects
means more work so here are some tips on how
to guarantee that you get that "A". Tip number
one, study. In most of your classes
you will get tests. In order to guarantee
that "A" you will have to study. Tip
number two, ask questions if you need help. Asking
for help on your homework or classwork can help
you know the concept that you're being tested about before the
test comes your way. Follow this and you will do
well in middle school. Good luck and have a great year!
