Extended Absence
I’ve been out of school for a few weeks due to illness, and while my teachers are allowing me to make up tests, I’m feeling overwhelmed trying to catch up. Any advice on how to manage this situation?

9th Grade Course Selection Is this a solid course selection as I head into 9th grade? (I need 23.5 credits to graduate high school, and I’d appreciate any advice on how to graduate early!)

It’s definitely challenging to catch up after a long absence, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Here are a few steps you can take to make the process easier:
Prioritize: Focus on the most important assignments and tests first. Ask your teachers which tasks are critical for you to complete and which can wait.
Create a Schedule: Break down your work into manageable chunks. Set aside specific times each day to study and complete assignments so it feels less overwhelming.
Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to reach out to your teachers or a school counselor. They can offer guidance, possibly provide extensions, or help you prioritize your workload.
Form Study Groups: Collaborate with classmates who can help explain concepts you may have missed. This can also make studying more enjoyable.
Use Online Resources: Look for online tutorials or videos that can help you understand subjects you missed. Websites like Khan Academy or other educational platforms can be very helpful.
Take Regular Breaks: Don’t forget to give yourself time to rest. Taking breaks can help improve focus and reduce feelings of overwhelm.
Stay Positive: Remember that catching up takes time and it’s okay to ask for help when you need it. Focus on your progress, no matter how small.
You’re doing your best by reaching out, and that’s a great first step! Take it one step at a time, and you’ll get through it.
