As an 8th grader, you, as a student, have more responsibilities and will be held more accountable than you were last year.

The workload might increase, which in turn might increase your stress, your frustration, and that doesn't include your emotions when you factor in social dynamics.

Don't worry though, because I have your back.

Here are some of the ways that I can support you during your last year to help make it as simple as possible to ensure you have a smooth transition not only from last year but from this year to high school.

• Keeping track of your Missing Assignments
• Helping you communicate Respectfully and Effectively with your teachers.

High School...that may be a scary word for some of you and while it is still a year away, it will be here before you know it.
