Migration

MIKVA….1 WEEK LEFT!!!! Reading Guides….should be easy points!

READ CAREFULLY AND THOUROGHLY! Should be no blanks…ASK FOR HELP!

Too many people missing homework assignments. Crucial part of grade Balances out assessment scores

Workload is heavy, but if you want to be successful you have to earn it! This should be the hardest class you’ve ever taken It is in preparation for college/ at college level

Collaboration is okay, but copying/ cheating is never acceptable. If you have the same wrong answers as someone else or the same missing

answers, it is clear that you copied. Sacrifices?

It is up to you, but academic success (and success in general) doesn’t come for free.

If what you are doing isn’t working, change it up.
