GOOD IDEAS/ADVICE

• If you are experiencing personal difficulties, I ask that you privately talk with me or another staff member, to inform us...because we can only help you if we KNOW.

• We do not want to get up in your "business." We can only assist you when you communicate with us.

• Understand that in the "online" world, what you say, post, record, write, can be recorded and used against you at some time in the future. So, BE CAREFUL.

• You need to plan that the world will return to "normal." This means that you should spend the necessary time to turn in work, to pass the class, to graduate.

• YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA will ALMOST ALWAYS be needed to earn a better living, to have more choices, to build a better life for you and your family.
