 The End of the First Quarter

By Rhiannon White Eyes ‘14

This past Friday was the last day of the first quarter.

There are now three quarters left in the school year. Seniors are one-fourth of the way done. They are three quarters away from being able to walk across the stage.

It was a hectic Friday morning, as students were rushing to and from classes trying to get their work turned in and done. Students were doing all sorts of extra credit to bring up their grades before the final posting.

Quarter grades are very important to the students here at Red Cloud. The students take it upon themselves to get the best grades possible and to excel in everything they do. Some students were stressing because of it being the end of the quarter. The teachers are very understanding and only want the best for their students. Last week we had a study hall, and it really helped most of the students to catch up and seek help from their teachers.

Some advice to the students would be to do their work on time and hand it in before the due date. If you manage to do that throughout the whole quarter, then it is not so much weight on your shoulders at the end of the quarter. If a student misses a couple days, then they should stay after and seek help and make up the work that they have missed. Another thing that helps is to think positively and have a good mindset about school and academics. The teachers hope the best to all of the students as first quarter comes to an end.
