Transition to high school at Agora Credits for Graduation New 9th Graders! What do today’s teens need most to become successful? 1. Self–Respect – Teens need to know their strong points and weak points. They must learn to highlight their strengths. And they need to accept that they are not perfect. 2. Goals – Teens should have some idea of where they want to go and what they want to be. These goals should be broken down into short and long term objectives . 3. Communication Skills – Teens need to express themselves respectfully, calmly and effectively. 4. Social Skills – Teens need to know how to interact appropriately in a variety of social situations. 5. Stress Management – Teens need skills in solving problems; and they need to know how to relax. 6. Exercise – This is necessary for top physical and mental health. 7. Family Support – This may be the most important of all. It provides teens a foundation for achieving the other six habits and qualities. Students must earn a minimum of 22 credits in the following content areas that are aligned to the Pennsylvania Academic Standards.

Successful Agora HS students: • Attend Orientation and Back to School Events – You’ll have an opportunity to interact with some of your student’s academic team. • Learn about time management – High school teachers are likely to give long-term projects. Teens need to learn how they can manage their time to meet their responsibilities for six or seven classes. • Get involved with at least one activity. Research shows that students involved with at least one extracurricular have better attendance and better grades. • Have involved parents! There are many things that a parent can do to make high school a more fun and inviting environment. Go to monthly parent workshops. Visit the website for events held statewide. • Have Parents that check their grades regularly. Don’t always believe what your teen (or his/her friends) tells you. Students could be telling you they are logging in and getting good grades. Do not take their word for it! Log in and check their gradebook and attendance yourself.
