As we require success of our students, we must also give them the tools and training necessary to enable them to be successful. In order to help students develop the personal work habits and attitudes necessary for success, we will be studying and discussing a book entitled "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens," by Sean Covey throughout the year. This book pulls together sound, practical and proven advice for setting goals and priorities, building friendships, improving self-image, resisting peer pressure, getting along with parents, and much more. As we read and study the book in school, we encourage you to read and discuss this book with your son or daughter. In addition, the Student Agenda Book, which is provided at the beginning of the year, comes with a free subscription to a Web page called Discoverzone. Students can use this Web site as a companion to the study of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. The site contains an electronic version of the agenda book. It has activities to help students set goals, track assignments, and deal with problems among peers along with many other helpful activities. We strongly suggest logging onto this sight and registering your student.
