Freshman Counseling Activity:

4-Year Planning
In the spring, 9th graders will receive an academic presentation that highlights post secondary options, high school graduation requirements, university entry requirements, and KHS class offerings. Students will formulate a basic 4-year plan for graduation from high school and entry to their post secondary choice. This plan will be revised every school year during registration.

Ultimate Goal for Freshman Year: Transition to High School

To make student transition go smoothly, review these three factors for high school success:

Get acclimated

Learn about your new school environment. This means to work on adjusting to the campus. Learn everything you can about the school, classes, and teachers.
• Understand policies regarding attendance, dress code, and discipline.
• Learn your teachers’ policies about class rules, homework, and grading.
• Know your way around the campus including how to find classes, the library, office, and restrooms.
• Listen to the daily bulletin for important information.

Get Organized.

Come to school ready to learn with a binder and dividers along with a planner that works..
• Record daily work in your planner.
• Do homework the day it is assigned.
• Label and put away all homework papers.
• Check grades often on the ABI.
• Ask for help!

Get involved.

Kingsburg High School offers students many opportunities to get involved in life outside the classroom. Activities give students the ability to learn leadership skills, team building, and time management. Involved students are usually motivated to come to school and remain grade eligible. Campus activities include agriculture, clubs, drama productions, music, sports, and student government.

Freshmen should continue to focus on adjusting to high school by:

  1. Developing time management skills and good study habits

  2. Staying organized and turning work in on time 

  3. Using resources- ask for help! Go to tutorial during lunch or after school 

See Mrs. Marriott if you need help with any of the items listed above or have any other questions!

Top 4 Skills for High School Students

Whether you're a freshman or a senior, developing the following 4 skills will help you achieve success in school, in your chosen career, and in life.

  • Time Management

    You know the deal: There are just 24 hours in each day. What you do with that time makes all the difference. While high-school students average 35 hours per week of class time, college students log an average of 15 to 18 hours per week.

    Getting your "free" time under control now will help prepare you for managing that extra 20 hours a week come freshman year of college — when you'll need to study and want to socialize more than ever.

    If you don't already, start using a daily planner. This could be a datebook you keep in your bag, an online version you maintain at home, or both. It's easy to over-schedule or "double-book" if we aren't careful. Manage your time wisely and you'll get the maximum out of each day.

  • Good Study Habits

    If you've got them, great. If not — well, there's still time to develop them. Good study habits include these basics:

    • Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly. No cutting!
    • Complete assignments thoroughly and in a timely manner.
    • Review your notes daily rather than cram for tests the night before.
    • Set aside quiet time each day for study — even if you don't have homework or a test the next day

  • The Ability to Set Attainable Goals

    It's important to set goals, as long as they're attainable. Setting goals that are unreasonably high is a set-up — you'll be doomed to frustration and disappointment.

  • Concentration

    Listen to your teacher and stay focused. Be sure that you understand the lesson. If you don't understand something, ask questions! You've heard it before, but "the only dumb question is the one you don't ask" is absolutely true. If you've been paying attention, it definitely won't be a dumb question.
