Study Tips

Check your gr​ades at least twice a week on Parent Portal

Check your assignments daily on Canvas

Use your South Lake planner (keep track of homework, project deadlines, upcoming tests, events, sports practice, etc.)

Set a "study space" 

• Have all your material in front of you: lecture notes, course textbooks, study guides and any other relevant material.

Don’t try to do all your studying the night before the test. Instead space out your studying, review class materials several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time

Take short breaks frequently. Your memory retains information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle.
