Start off Second Semester on the Right Foot!

• Advisors will be busy contacting their students to help answer questions and field concerns. 
• RETURN THEIR CALLS! Advisors have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you get started in the right direction. 
• Haven't heard from your Advisor yet? Call, email, or text them! 

• Many of your courses start with a "Getting to Know You" type of assignment. Make sure to spend some time on these! It's a great way for teachers to get to know their students. 
• Reach out to your teachers and tell them something about yourself. Teachers want to know if you are excited about their course...or nervous!! 

• Take some time to review the class expectations and course syllabus/outline. 
• ASK your teacher questions if you aren't sure about something in their course. 
• Are you in a Group Pace course? Make sure you know when the LIVE sessions are held! 

• What is the Academic Snapshot? Why...it's an awesome tool that you see right when you login to my.blueskyschool.org. 
• The snapshot shows how much work you should complete in each class each week to stay ON PACE. (Anyone who got behind pace first semester knows how important staying on pace can be!)
• HERE IS A TUTORIAL. Take some time to watch it!  

• One of the best things you can do as an online student is to STAY CONNECTED. 
• Read your email each day. 
• Respond to phone calls and text messages. 
• Read the blog, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook. 
• Be part of the school community! 
• The more connected you are to school, the easier it will be to complete your work!
