Why aren’t some students successful? What Adults Say: Students don’t care They come to school unprepared They aren’t trying their hardest What Students Say: We’re not being challenged Teachers and counselors underestimate out potential Our concerns are dismissed

No matter what their circumstance, students need to take responsibility now to ensure a successful tomorrow

You Need to Be Prepared Your future boss will accept nothing less than the best. What skills will you have to make you stand out from the rest?

How can students prepare themselves for postsecondary education and the workplace?  Be prepared for school each day and have regular attendance  Make homework a priority  Be prepared to take rigorous courses  Set goals early and STICK TO THEM!  Investigate career interests  Get involved in your school.

And parents should:  Make school a family priority - attendance, homework, doing assignments on time, etc.  Reward academic achievement  Communicate regularly with teachers and counselors  Help your child begin to learn about careers & discuss possible career paths.  Demand that your kids have the rigorous courses they need.

Your school must:  Develop and maintain high expectations for every student  Provide challenging and rigorous courses for every student  Address the academic and career planning needs of every student  Communicate regularly with parents

Follow these steps and feel confident you are prepared for what lies ahead!
