AtomicMind 9th Graders: September Highlights

High School is finally here! As your students adjust to a new school year (or a new campus), we've compiled a list of advice and activities to enrich your student's freshman year.

AtomicMind's September Guide for 9th Graders

High school comes with a new set of expectations, assignments, and challenges. We're here to support your student's success as they adapt to 9th grade.

• Dedicated Study Time: Now that students have a couple weeks of school under their belt, they should be familiar with their school and extracurricular schedules. The month of September is an excellent time to identify and carve out specific times to complete homework, studying, and tutoring.
• Identify Areas for Support Early: Setting a strong foundation early is crucial for a student's success. If students foresee needing support in particular subject areas, do not wait to get help! Please reach out to AtomicMind to pair you with a Subject Specialist.
• Pursue Meaningful Extracurriculars: Extracurriculars are an important part of your student's growing resume, and freshman year is a perfect time to get involved. If your student has identified a specific interest or passion in a subject or activity, now is the time to start pursuing that interest with intention. Our Discover+ portal is an ideal place to get started in your search, and our Head Advisors are experts in pairing students with enriching out-of-class opportunities.
• Be Bold!: Our AtomicMind students have started clubs, published their writing, or started small businesses - all during their freshman year. If your student has an interest that ignites them, it's never too early to start pursuing it! Our team at AtomicMind specializes in supporting student innovation, so we're here to help bring your student's ideas to fruition.
