Organizational & Study Skills for the Middle Schooler

Doesn't every student want to spend less time studying and more time doing things they enjoy? Our study skills class can make that dream a reality. Participants will learn how to use their school planners effectively, plan ahead to maximize study time, take organized notes and prepare for exams, writing assignments and major projects without cramming the night before.
