We won\u2019t lie and say that going into high school is perfectly easy. Anyone who\u2019s gone through the transition knows that it\u2019s not. However, getting help after school with teachers during activity period is how many students keep up with their work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_4577-e1556382848648.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_4577-e1556382848648.jpg 240w, https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_4577-e1556382848648-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying on top of homework is a big part of high school success. Due to block scheduling, students have two days to complete homework assignments. \u201cDon\u2019t procrastinate on your homework, do it the first day you get it,\u201d said freshman Lauren Parker. \u201cDefinitely do your homework the day you get it,\u201d said freshman Josh Aitken. If you can\u2019t complete an assignment in one night, then you always have the next night to finish it as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Being part of a team can help with feeling comfortable in the high school.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Many current freshmen who participate in school sports teams notice that being a part of a team can help with feeling comfortable in the high school. For some, teammates can help you find your way around the school. \u201cMy teammates walked me around the school before it started,\u201d said freshman Sophia Ferris. \u201cYou get to know the upperclassmen and you always have a friendly face in the hallways, which is really nice,\u201d said freshman Emily Gorzynski. Along with getting to know other people in the school, joining a sports team can also help with time management. \u201cYou have to schedule your time well to have enough time to do your homework,\u201d said freshman Timmy Scheftic. Efficiency and time management provide for a better path through high school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the transition to high school can be difficult, but it\u2019s not all as bad as it seems. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although the transition from eighth to ninth grade can be overwhelming, many freshman can tell you the change from middle school to high school is not as bad as it may seem.
