Senators show responsibility for their grades and future success.  You and only you are responsible for your schoolwork and grades.  Increase your chances of success by using a planner and designating a specific time every day for homework and studying. We are quickly approaching progress report time,  so set a goal of a specific task you need to complete in order to finish strong in 1st quarter.  Have a great week from Be A Senator.
