The Life of James Campbell
James Campbell was born in 1826, to carpenter William Campbell and his wife Martha of Londonderry, Ireland. He
was the eighth child in a family of 12 children.
James Campbell left Ireland at the age of 13 to seek fortune in the New World by stowing away on a lumber ship. He
worked as a carpenter in New York for two years then signed onto a ship bound for Pacific whaling grounds. But the ship
hit a reef and never reached its destination.
Campbell survived the shipwreck by clinging to a spar and floating to a nearby island. He and two shipmates were
captured by island natives and held prisoner until Campbell demonstrated his resourcefulness by repairing a broken
musket belonging to the local chief. Months later, Campbell fled the island by flagging down a passing ship headed for
Tahiti.
In 1850, after several years in Tahiti, Campbell boarded a whaling ship, which brought him to Lahaina, Maui. At age
24, he decided to make Hawaii his home. After several years of working as a carpenter, Campbell met and married
Hannah Barla. The marriage ended with the death of young Hannah in 1858: Using his life savings and some small
properties inherited from Hannah, Campbell undertook business enterprises beyond his carpentry. In 1860, he and
business partners Henry Turton and James Dunbar founded the Pioneer Mill Company-a sugar cane processing plant. The
venture eventually became the basis of his wealth. He later purchased land on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island.
In 1877, Campbell sold his interest in the company and married Abigail Kuaihelani Maipinepine. The newlyweds
lived on Maui briefly then moved to a home on Emma Street in Honolulu.
The Campbells had eight children, four of whom died in infancy. Four daughters survived: Abigail Wahiikaahuula
(later Mrs. David Kawananakoa), Alice Kamokila (later Mrs. Walter Macfarlane, and better known as Kamokila
Campbell, a territorial senator), Beatrice (later Mrs. George Beckley, then Mrs. Francis Wrigley) and Muriel (later Mrs.
Robert Shingle, then Mrs. Charles Amalu).
One of Campbell’s land purchases included 41,000 acres of dry, barren Ewa land, which he bought in 1877 for
$95,000. Many critics scoffed at the doubtful value of his purchase. But Campbell envisioned supplying the arid area with
water and commissioned California well-driller James Ashley to drill a well on his Ewa ranch.
In 1879, Ashley drilled Hawaii’s first artesian well. James Campbell’s vision had made it possible for Hawaii’s people
to grow sugar cane on the dry lands of the Ewa Plain. The well also uncovered a vast pure water reserve that to this day
provides the Pearl Harbor and Honolulu areas with water. The site of the well is marked by a stone monument and plaque
on Fort Weaver Road, across West Loch Fairways.
Campbell continued to acquire and manage properties until his death in 1900. He left an estate valued at more than $3
million.
Today, the Estate of James Campbell is one of Hawaii’s largest private landowners and administers the assets under
the will of James Campbell for his heirs. The Estate’s major undertakings include the development of the City of Kapolei
and the ownership of office, retail and industrial properties both in Hawaii and on the mainland.
The Estate strives to emulate James Campbell who believed in the wise stewardship of land. He knew that caring for
the land’s resources wisely and efficiently would provide a better environment for growth and a better quality of life for
Hawaii’s people.
His descendants today honor the memory of James Campbell and his wife, Abigail, by funding the James and Abigail
Campbell Foundation. The Foundation has made many donations to various educational projects and to the school that
bears James Campbell’s name.

STANDARDS-BASED GRADING - (Revision: January 2013)
James Campbell High School has begun a conversion to standards-based education and standard-based grading to comply with
the plans laid by OCISS (Office of Curriculum, Instruction and Student Support) of the Department of Education. The JCHS
Teachers and Staff have been working on implementing this system of grading for four years to prepare for this significant
change and as of the first Session of 2011-12, have graded students according to the standards-based grading system.
Standards-based grading is comprised of 4 grades: A-Exceeds proficiency; B-Proficient; C-Approaches proficiency; F-Not
met.
James Campbell High School Grading Scale
Grades
Point Scale
What does it mean?
Exceeds—In addition to an understanding necessary to be successful at the next level of the
A
3.5 – 4.0
simple and complex knowledge or skills identified by this standard/benchmark or course, the
student extends the knowledge or skills to inferences and applications beyond what was
directly taught in class
B
3.0 – 3.4
Proficient—The student is equipped to be successful at the next level, without remediation,
having demonstrated mastery of the content or skills identified by this standard/benchmark
or course
C
2.0—2.9
Approaches—The student has demonstrated understanding of the basic content or skills
identified by this standard/benchmark but has not demonstrated mastery of some of the more
complex content or skills necessary to be successful at the next level
F
0.0—1.9
Not Met—The student has not demonstrated an understanding of the basic content or skills
that are identified by this standard/benchmark or course
There is no “D” grade in standards-based education or standards-based grading. If a student doesn’t understand the basic content
or skills, he/she is not proficient and therefore, has not met the standard. If a student has not demonstrated an understanding of
the basic content or skills that are identified by this standard/benchmark or course, the grade is “F.”
One serious implication of this new grading system is that a student should not be complacent or satisfied with being a “C”
student. After “C” there is only F-Not Proficient. “C” students risk the chance of falling to “F,” if he/she does not or cannot
demonstrate understanding of the basic skills and concepts of a subject area.
In our goal to teach students to be ready for career or college, there needs to be accuracy in grading content and skills. If a
student is not prepared for college and careers, the student is not proficient. This grading system eliminates personalities,
preferences, behavior, and any other factor used in the past to determine a grade. Done properly, this new grading system will
provide uniformity across all public schools and a clearer picture of career and college readiness.
PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING (ACADEMIC DISHONESTY):
Plagiarism is dishonesty and cheating. Plagiarism is taking someone else's work and using it as your own. It is the unacceptable
use of someone else’s work. Plagiarism will not be tolerated in our school. In Standards-Based grading, students will be expected
to retake an assessment or complete the assignment.
Examples of cheating or academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, cheating on assessments; copying of assignments;
falsifying data; unauthorized collaborations; and forging of signatures.
In addition, anyone involved in deliberate dishonesty will be disciplined by one or more of the following, but not limited to:
•
Expulsion from study program
•
Suspension from academic or
•
Reprimand,

EARLY COMPLETION POLICY
The block schedule has increased the number of credits a student may earn in a year, thereby creating greater potential
for early requirement completion. While James Campbell High School's primary purpose is to provide comprehensive
four-year educational and enrichment opportunities, students may request early completion when meeting the following
standards.
1. Early completion for fourth-year high school students may occur after the end of Term 2 of the senior year with
Parent/Guardian and Principal approval.
2. Request for early completion can be made by Grade 11 students during the third term of their third year in high school.
3. Request for early completion in the fourth year of high school will be approved if all of the
following requirements are met:
Student has a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better.
Student has at least 90% attendance rate.
Student has not taken any "required" core classes through alternative programs.
Student has the approval of his/her parent or guardian.
Student will have satisfied all requirements for graduation by the end of his/her third year in high
school except Grade 12 English and Social Studies.
Student has demonstrated intent to enroll in post-secondary education or is currently employed.
4. Please note: Selection of the early completion option may result in scheduling and/or course selection limitations.
Course requests will be honored whenever possible; however, they are not guaranteed.
5. The school holds only one graduation ceremony at the end of the school year when all diplomas/certificates
are awarded. Early completers may request a letter verifying graduation requirements have been met.
PROMOTION POLICY
Each student must earn a minimum number of credits to be promoted from one grade level to the next.
From grade 9 to 10 – complete 1 year of high school and earn a minimum of 5 credits
From grade 10 to 11 – complete 2 years of high school and earn a minimum of 11 credits
From grade 11 to 12 – complete 3 years of high school and earn a minimum of 17 credits

HONOR ROLL & PRINCIPAL'S LIST
Students with a grade point average of 3.5 to 3.79 are listed on the Honor Roll. Those with GPAs of 3.80 and higher are on the
Principal's List. Students must be enrolled in a minimum of 3 classes each term. Graduating seniors who maintain a cumulative
GPA of 3.50 and higher through the end of the third term of their senior year will be designated Honor Graduates of James
Campbell High School. Any student with a grade of I, N, or W is not eligible for these or any other academic honors.
STUDENT REPORT CARDS
Student report cards are distributed approximately three weeks after the return from break. Duplicate report cards and student
schedules may be obtained for a $.50 fee.
TRANSCRIPTS OF HIGH SCHOOL RECORD
Request for transcripts must be signed by a parent/guardian. Two transcripts will be prepared and sent to the requested
institutions without charge. Each additional transcript will cost $2.00.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS OR TELEPHONE
Address and telephone changes must be reported to the counselor, registrar or the office staff. In the event of an emergency,
current information is needed to contact parents/guardians.
NEW ENROLLEES
Students transferring from other schools (private or public) must bring a release from the previous school. Previously earned
credits will be accepted from schools that are licensed and/or accredited in Hawaii. Credits from other schools will be reviewed
and accepted on a case-by-case basis. Students must also provide proof of residency within the Campbell High School district,
through their parents or legal guardians. Parents or guardians must accompany students at the time of enrollment to compete and
sign all forms.
Hawaii State law requires that all new students entering any school in Hawaii must have the following documents by the FIRST DAY OF
SCHOOL. Students missing either of these requirements will NOT be permitted to enter school on the first day.
1.
2.
A completed health record to show that a physical exam and a negative tuberculin skin test or x-ray were
completed in the US within a year before school entrance and that all immunization requirements have been met,
OR
Proof of a negative tuberculin test in the US within the past 12 months and a signed statement from the doctor to
prove that the student is in the process of completing the health requirements. The tuberculin test, however, is
required for enrollment.
GEOGRAPHIC EXCEPTIONS
Under Hawaii law, students are required to attend the school in the district in which the parent or legal guardian resides.
However, permission to enroll in a school in another district may be granted by the principal of the school the student wishes to
attend. To obtain a geographic exception, parents must complete and submit the geographic exception form to the home school
where it will be signed by an administrator and forwarded to the desired school. Once a geographic exception has been
approved, it is valid until the student completes the terminal grade at that school.
Geographic exceptions are approved for individual students; therefore, a separate application must be submitted for each child in
a family.
CLASS CHANGE GUIDELINES
Anyone wishing to make class/course changes should be aware of the following. Contact the appropriate counselor for guidance
and assistance.
1. Timely Class Changes:
Before 10% of the course is completed, changes will be made on a space available basis.
Once 11% to 40% of the class has been completed, changes will only be made if the "new course"
teacher feels that the student will be able to earn credit for the course.
After 40% of the course has been completed, no change may occur.
2. Class Prerequisites: Students should not be request placement in a course if they have not met the prerequisites.
3. The only type of program changes that will be considered are:
1. Duplication of courses.
2. Courses needed for graduation in May of the current school year.
3. Incomplete schedule.
4. Summer school credit.
5. Early admission or employment (verification required).
Exception will be considered on an emergency basis only, with concurrence of the student, parent(s), counselor, teachers and
administration.
12
DOUBLING UP IN SUBJECT AREA COURSES POLICY
During Registration: Effective January 2004, students registering for required courses may register for ONE previously taken
and failed course in English, Social Studies or Science. This will be in addition to the required course in the same subject area
for their projected school year.
Students may take two high level Math or Science courses provided they have teacher and counselor approval before registration.
The student must have demonstrated mastery level proficiency in previous courses.
First Session Failures: Students failing courses the first session of the school year will be allowed to change their schedules and
add the failed course to their second session schedule with teacher's recommendation and on a "space available" basis.
Second Session Failures:
Students who fail courses the second session of the school year will be allowed to change their schedules and add the failed
course to their next year's requests with their teacher's recommendation and on a "space available" basis.
Senior Failures: Seniors who fail required courses the first session will be given priority over underclassmen requesting
schedule changes.
*NOTE: All schedule changes and/or course selections will be made on a "space available" basis. These guidelines apply to
students enrolled in JCHS since the fall of 2002.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES - SAFTEY
Campbell Complex School Attendance Plan
The Hawaii State Compulsory Attendance Law
The Hawaii Revised Statutes, Sec. 302A-1132, states that "unless excluded from school or excepted from attendance,
all children will have arrived at the age of at least six years, and who will not have arrived at the age of eighteen years, on or
before December 31 of any school year, shall attend either a public or private school for and during such year, and any parent,
guardian, and other person having the responsibility for or care of a child whose attendance at school is obligatory shall send the
child to some such school"
Section 302A-1136, Enforcement, HRS, places the responsibility for enforcing compulsory attendance with the
Department of Education (DOE). Toward this end, agreements have been developed with all police departments within the state
regarding truant students. Students who are chronic absentees may be referred to Family Court.
Exemption from the compulsory attendance law is permitted only under specified conditions pursuant to Section 302A1132, Attendance compulsory, Exceptions, HRS, and DOE regulations relating to compulsory attendance exceptions.
Section 302A-1135 provides that a parent or guardian who does not enforce the child's regular school attendance may
be guilty of a petty misdemeanor. The penalty for a petty misdemeanor is a fine of up to $1,000 (HRS 707-640) or jail time for up
to thirty (30) days (HRS 706-663).
The Hawaii State Department of Education's Philosophical Base
In consonance with the statutory requirements relating to education, the DOE is committed to providing each individual
with an educational program, which will help the student to develop to the fullest extent of the student's capabilities and become a
useful member of society. Teachers, administrators, and other staff shall make every effort to work with students and their
parent(s) and/or guardian(s) to optimize available learning activities as well as educational services and opportunities. According
to the Board of Education's Student Code of Conduct policy regarding attendance and punctuality, students are expected to attend
school daily, attend all classes, and be on time every day.
Campbell Complex Philosophy
We, the schools of the Campbell Community, with the support of the parents and the community, believe that:
School attendance is a primary indicator of academic success.
Optimum benefits of education can be achieved only when students attend school daily and are in class on time.
Excessive absences, unexcused absences and/or tardies are barriers to learning and prevent maximum teaching and
learning from taking place.
All stakeholders, collectively, must support all efforts toward the development of a school community that teaches and
enforces a strong attendance policy with effective procedures and interventions.
Attendance is a learned attitude and behavior that can be proactively taught. Schools will proactively teach appropriate
behaviors and attitude through the Positive Behavior Support program in each school complex wide. Absenteeism is a
behavior that can be corrected when all stakeholders work together. When needed, higher-level interventions such as
monitoring, counseling and special programs may be necessary to avert court involvement. Should court involvement
be necessary, programs supporting a return to daily educational participation will be provided in the best interest of the
student.
We are all responsible to support the procedures and interventions that promote and guide all youth toward meeting the
high standards of the Campbell Graduate Profile in preparation of their personal goals and future pursuits.
Students absent for Ten or more days, excluding authorized school activities or medical absences, may be released
from school.
The Campbell High School Graduate Profile
The Campbell High School graduate will:
Realize their individual goals and aspirations
Possess the attitudes, knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global society and be an effective family member.
Exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship
Pursue post-secondary education and/or careers without the need for remediation.
16
Campbell Complex Absenteeism Prevention and Monitoring Practices
In accordance with the Complex Philosophy each school has adopted the following practices:
Each school will provide all students' parent(s) and guardian(s) with the Campbell Complex Philosophy regarding
attendance and appropriate information regarding attendance procedures.
Each school will process and maintain attendance daily in order to ensure students' accountability for their attendance
and to ensure consistent data collection.
Each school will maintain daily attendance records for each student on a card or computer generated program.
The teacher will be responsible to alert the school to any chronic absentee problems. The school will make diligent
efforts to intervene and support students in improving attendance behavior.
Written documentation will be submitted within 3 school days upon student's return to school by the parent/guardian.
Each school will emphasize the importance of attending school daily to parent(s) or guardian(s).
Attendance policy and procedures will be a part of all transitions and orientations from elementary through high school.
If a student leaves school before 11:00 or comes to school after 11:00 their attendance will be marked as a half day and
considered absent (elementary)
Make-up Assignment:
Students and/or parents/guardians are responsible for making arrangements with teacher(s) for missed assignments for
any absence.
When a student is tardy s/he must:
1.
Have their parent or guardian call the school to report tardy.
2.
Report to the designated office or personnel to get a tardy pass/note.
3.
Bring written documentation stating the reason for the tardy.
Note: If your child is tardy and misses an authorized school field trip, alternative assignments will be provided.
The department of Education and the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) cooperate in dealing with students who are
truant. When a student is picked up for being truant by HPD, the following procedure will be exercised:
1st offense-Police return student to school for disciplinary action. Name of student is placed in HPD computer bank.
Parent is informed.
2nd offense-Student is taken to the police station and arrested for truancy. Parent must claim student for release.
3rd offense-Student is arrested and must go to Family Court for disposition.
Note: Pre-Kindergarten, nor Kindergarten attendance is mandated by the State Compulsory Attendance law. However, parents
should be advised that the early practice and establishment of daily attendance and related habits of routine during these
formative years yield positive attendance and school participation habits in later years which will result in successful academic
performance.
Family Court
When absences are of a chronic nature that impairs student performance, the school may choose to file a court petition
of Educational Neglect, Chapter 587.
"Pursuant to HRS 571-11(2), Family Court can place a child under its jurisdiction for truancy if the child is not attending school
or is not receiving the educational services required by law."
The DOE Social Worker, School Counselors, School based Behavioral Health Team, when appropriate, will work with
the school and parents to develop a plan and/or contract to support improved attendance habits. When all school resources have
been exhausted the school may find it necessary to petition the court for jurisdiction over the student. At this time, mandatory
attendance to specialized programs may be imposed.
Campbell Complex Attendance Monitoring and Intervention Procedures
Record Maintenance: Teachers are responsible for maintaining accurate attendance records of those students
assigned to them. Attendance cards or Electronic Student Information System (eSIS) will be used to document
attendance.
A common system of record keeping will include the following symbols:
U
Unexcused Absent--Mark on the date that student is absent.
If excused, mark as such and document reason on designated area. If no reason is given or reason is not valid mark as
unexcused and state in designated area as unexcused. (Teacher Attendance Book)

Written documentation will be kept on file at each school.
Phone calls will be documented to include both the reason for the absence and who provided the information.
Daily Monitoring: The teacher and/or attendance monitor will review the attendance records daily to ensure that
excessive or recurring absences are followed up upon for ALL students.
School-Parent Communication: After absences, the teacher will attempt to contact the parent to ascertain
whether a concern should be noted and/or to provide support. Attendance letter(s) will be sent home for excessive
tardies/absences.
Note: Examples to Communicate attendance include but not limited to: Webgrader, Edline, Telephone (phone connect), Teacher.
If, after communication with the parent, the teacher feels there is a concern, the teacher will initiate an RFA (Request
For Assistance).
After 5 absences (excused or unexcused) Notification to parent/guardian will be given. Form of notification will be determined
by school and documented.
After 10 absences (excused or unexcused) Letter 1 will be sent. Subsequent letters will be determined by the individual school
(school specific) on a case by case basis.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE POLICY
The Hawai'i Revised Statutes, Section 302A-1132, states that, unless excluded from school or excepted from attendance, all
children between six years and eighteen years old by January 1st of any school year, shall attend either a public or private school.
Any parent, guardian or other person having the responsibility for or care of, a child whose attendance at school is obligatory
shall send the child to either a public or private school. It also states that if any child of school age persists in missing school a
Family Court judge shall have the child, father, mother, guardian or any other person having charge of the child to be summoned
to appear before the judge in Family Court. If it is proved that the person responsible for the child had not used proper diligence
to enforce the child’s regular attendance at school, the responsible party shall be guilty of a petty misdemeanor.
Students need to attend school daily and be in class on time. Unexcused and/or excessive absences and tardies are unacceptable
and impinges upon a student’s education and academic performance. The official school day for students begins at 8:00 a.m. and
ends at 2:20 p.m. except on Wednesdays when students are dismissed at 1:40 p.m. All students, excluding those on Early Release
are expected to remain in school during the stated hours unless they have obtained clearance from the office staff to leave
campus.
Absences
When a student is absent, a parent or guardian should notify the school by calling 687-3000 from 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. To report
an absence after school hours please call 687-3010. However, a note should be brought by the student on the morning of return
and shown to all teachers whose classes were missed while absent. If the absence is legitimate, make-up work may be given by
teachers. If the absences should continue beyond 2 days, the student's parents should notify the counselor assigned to the
respective grade level and request homework. Any student who misses work due to absence is responsible for contacting
teacher(s) and working out a plan to make up work missed. The school will only excuse absences when written documentation
(note) from a doctor/dentist/court is submitted within three (3) days upon student’s return to school, and excused
absences are for one of the following reasons: school suspension, death in the immediate family, illness, injury,
quarantine (chicken pox, measles, etc.), verifiable by a doctor’s note. A doctor’s note is required for three (3) or more
consecutive absences. Notes written by parents will verify the school that parents were aware of student’s absence, but
will be considered “unexcused”. Students need to turn in their excuse note signed by all of their teachers to the Attendance
Clerk at the end of the school day. Students who are absent for ten (10) or more days for travel will be required to withdraw from
school. When the students return from their trip, they may re-enroll. There is no guarantee that they will be rescheduled into their
original classes.

Class Cutting
“Class Cutting,” is defined as being absent from a class without authorization. Students who are out of class for any reason
during class sessions are required to have a valid pass from the teacher. Students who are caught Class Cutting will receive
progressive discipline which may eventually lead to assignment to an alternative placement.
Truancy
“Truancy” means that the student is absent from the school campus without authorization from the principal or designee. Truant
students will receive progressive discipline which may eventually lead to assignment to an alternative placement.
Leaving Campus Without Consent
“Leaving Campus Without Consent” means leaving the premises of a school without first obtaining permission from school
officials. Students caught violating this section will receive progressive discipline which may eventually lead to assignment to an
alternative placement.
Saturday Detention
Saturday Detention is for "repeat offenders or anyone who is referred by the Vice Principal designee for educational
& disciplinary reasons". Referrals for attendance and smoking issues come from the counselor and/or administrator.
Reason for referral may include but not limited to:
-Dress Code Violations
-ID Violations (not wearing school-issued identification tag)
-Insubordination and other violations
Saturday Detention will be held from 8:00a.m. - 10:00a.m., on scheduled Saturdays in a designated classroom. Students are
required to be on time, and to stay for the entire session.
Once referral occurs, parents will be contacted by both letter and telephone. The letter that is sent to the parent(s)/guardian(s) is
the student's admission ticket. Parents must sign it, and the student must bring it to the Saturday Detention. Absences from
Saturday Detention will follow the official attendance policy from the student handbook. The only excused absences are death in
the immediate family, medical appointments and personal illness.
- If students are ill, they are required to submit a parent's or doctor's note that they were too ill to
attend. If this is provided, they will be given a chance to make up the session on the following
Saturday. Students with excused absences will be given up to four chances to make up the
obligation prior to consequences setting in.
- If they do not attend and are unexcused, they lose privileges to participate in co-curricular/extra-curricular activities.
- athletes will not be allowed to participate in the next athletic event
- students belonging to clubs will not be allowed to attend the next club meeting or scheduled event
- if there is a prom or winter ball falling within that month, students will not be permitted to purchase bids until their
Saturday Detention obligation is fulfilled.
** If a backlog should occur between the referral and the time the student is assigned to attend
Saturday Detention, and the student commits another disciplinary offense, a school official may decide to withdraw the
student's Saturday Detention opportunity and proceed directly to suspension.
After School Detention
After school detention is also for “repeat offenders or anyone who is referred by the Vice Principal designee for educational &
disciplinary reasons”. Once referral occurs, parents will be contacted by either letter and/or telephone. After School Detention
are on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 2:30pm to 3:00pm. There is no After School Detention on Wednesdays.
After School Detention is located in the JCHS Cafeteria. Dress top and Student I.D. are needed for entry. Your child will need
to sign in with security or designee in the cafeteria to get credited for attending After School Detention.
PASSES
1. CAMPUS — Students who are out of class for any reason during a class period must have a pass from the teacher responsible
for them that period.
2. LUNCH - Our school participates in the Federal School Lunch Program and all students are expected to have lunch on
campus. Therefore, off-campus passes for lunch will NOT be issued. The only exceptions will be documented cases and
handled on a case-by-case basis by an administrator.
3. OFF-CAMPUS — Students are not permitted to leave campus for any reason during the school day without first obtaining
office clearance. If a student needs an off-campus pass, a WRITTEN request must be brought to the Front Office before
school begins.
4. VISITORS — Anyone wishing to visit our campus must report to the Front Office on North Road. A visitor badge will be
issued by the administration or clerical staff for this purpose. Students not registered at Campbell or adults not employed at
Campbell are required to check in with the office.
5. All students including 18 year olds must have parental consent to leave campus.
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
James Campbell High School is responsible for conducting quarterly and yearly exercises in both real time and tabletop format to
ensure the appropriate response by school personnel and students during an emergency. Some of the exercises may require the
Lock Down of students into classrooms and the evacuation of students and personnel from the school grounds to a staging area
located at a safe distance from the school within the neighboring community. Personnel from outside agencies may also be
involved with these exercises. School personnel and students are required to participate in the exercises. These exercises are
19
critical in our attempts to find areas that may need improvement and allow us to address concerns. In the event of an actual
emergency, a variety of mediums will be utilized to notify parents such as the news media, Phone-Connect or Web Grader.
In the event of either an evacuation drill or an actual evacuation, all students will be required to remain with their assigned
classes. They are required to be present at all times from the time the evacuation begins until the time the evacuation ends. Roll
call will be taken at strategic points during the evacuation to ensure all students are accounted for. Any student found missing at
any time during the evacuation will be suspended for Insubordination.
Surveillance Cameras - As part of Campbell's efforts to enhance safety and security of its students, we have installed several
surveillance cameras throughout the campus. These cameras are installed in public areas only and do not have access to any place
where there is an expectation of privacy. The system has been very successful in thwarting criminal activity on campus and had
enhanced the school's efforts at creating a safe and secure environment for our students.
Bi-Annual Notification of Periodic Surveillance and Asbestos Management Plan
To: James Campbell High School Teachers/Staff, PTA/SCC members and Parents

Council (now known as the JCHS School Community Council-SCC). Students will wear the standardized dress top effective
the first day of school. Students are required to wear uniform tops on all school days, Monday through Friday, with the exception
of days to be designated and announced as “special dress days.” Students exempt from the standardized dress top policy must be
in compliance with the STATE OF HAWAII Opt-Out provision as stated in components of the policy, BOE Guideline #4.
COMPONENTS OF THE POLICY
Parental Leadership and Involvement
(BOE Guideline #1)
The decision represents the views of a majority of the members of the school community. All role groups participated in the
conversations and decision-making. The approval to proceed with the standardized dress top policy was granted by the JCHS
SCBM Council (now known as the JCHS School Community Council-SCC) during the school year 2001 - 2002 and was
approved by consensus to become effective beginning SY 2002 - 2003. . The school’s NAME AND LOGO will appear on the
uniform.
James Campbell High School Standardized Dress Top Regulations
The expectation is to have the standardized dress tops worn to school during school days. However, optional dress top days may
be permitted at the discretion of the JCHS School Community Council-SCC or the Principal. When permitted the optional dress
must meet the dress top/dress code regulations.
Students are required to wear a standardized dress top.
Students may wear a variety of tops including the required t-shirts, polo shirts, and girl scoop shirts as long as the shirt has the
approved school logo and tucked in or worn out extending below the waistline, with no visible midriff or cleavage. Designs of
the dress tops have been approved by the standardized dress top committee, consisting of teachers and students.
Waivers are valid only for the current school year and must be renewed at the beginning of each school year. We will not accept
any request for dress top waivers any time after the first two week period from the start of school. If a student is truant or
suspended, their waiver will no longer be valid. Waivers can be revoked for not adhering to the dress code regulations.
Effective for the school year 2013-2014
Starting with the class of 2017, the uniform shop will sell our school's dress top in three colors (Orange, Black and White) with
one common design. All current shirts bought by the upperclassmen (C/O 2014, 2015, 2016) will be allowed to be worn until
their graduation date. Fridays will be considered college, JCHS class, JCHS club and JCHS sport shirt day.
Appropriate shorts, skirts, and dress attire:
Length of shorts, skirts, and dresses must not be shorter than mid-thigh.
Appropriate pants and shorts attire:
Pants or shorts must cover underwear or boxer shorts.
The following is the rule for alternative dress tops:
Acceptable school dress-tops include our school designed dress top, as well as any administratively sanctioned chartered club tshirt or school sports t-shirt that includes our official school logo. No others are allowed with the exception of our new
promotion: College Fridays.
College, JCHS class, JCHS club and JCHS sport shirt Fridays
To further promote our college-going culture, we are adding College Fridays to our acceptable dress code policies. College
Fridays encourages staff and students to wear college/university t-shirts/polo shirts to promote their accredited college/university
of choice. Students may also wear their JCHS class, JCHS club and JCHS sport shirt to promote/support their respective grade
level, club and sport. All Accredited College/University, JCHS class, JCHS club, JCHS sport shirts must adhere to the expected
dress code policy and may replace dress tops on Fridays.
Dress Tops may not be altered:
Dress tops should not be cut, turned inside out, tied in a knot exposing midriff or back. Dress tops should not have any other
designs embroidered on.
Gang related clothing or accessories or clothing, which depict drugs, sex, tobacco, alcohol, profanity, and /or violence or
clothing otherwise deemed inappropriate are not allowed.
VIOLATION OF THE DRESS CODE RULES WILL RESULT IN ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Student may be sent home to change into appropriate attire. Administration may impose further consequences for
repeated offenses.
Conclusion:
Uniforms alone will not solve all the problems of public schools and the public perception of them. However, they are surely one
positive contributing factor to improve high school discipline and safety. As parents, staff, students, and members of the
community work together, a standardized dress top policy becomes part of a strong overall school safety program supporting the
learning success

CHAPTER 8-57 – RESTITUTION FOR DAMAGES AND LOST BOOKS, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES AND
OUTSTANDING FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
Introduction:
Chapter 57 requires that students be responsible for paying required fees and for restitution of school property that is lost through
their negligence. It further allows consequences for students who do not make restitution or pay required fees. Schools have had
varying degrees of success in collecting money from students for lost books, equipment, supplies, and outstanding financial
obligations. While this Chapter allows schools to restrict students from participating in athletics and co-curricular activities if
they have outstanding financial obligations, the following guidelines are provided to aid schools in applying these restrictions
with consistency. Statewide application of these guidelines will ensure that students are treated with fairness and equity when it
is found that they are responsible for the loss, destruction, breakage, or damage of school books, equipment, and supplies,
including library and assigned textbooks, and nonpayment of fees. (Refer to the Hawaii State Board of Education Chapter 57
Restitution for Damaged and Lost Books, Equipment, Supplies, and Outstanding Financial Obligations).
*NOTE: These guidelines apply to participation in athletics and co-curricular activities such as: student government, proms,
banquets, balls, clubs, commencement exercises, and school courts.
Student Responsibility
1. Payment for lost or damaged books, equipment or supplies. A student who is found to be responsible for the loss, destruction,
breakage or damage of school books, equipment and/or supplies including library and assigned textbooks, shall make
restitution to the school [ AUTH: 302A-1112, 302A-1130]. Failure to do so will result in the loss of privileges to participate in
athletics and co-curricular activities until restitution is made.
2. Nonpayment of required fees. A student who has not paid the required fees by the school deadline is considered to have a
financial obligation to the school and must make restitution to the school before being allowed to participate in athletics or cocurricular activities.
3. Restitution. Restitution includes payment or participation in a work program as outlined in 8-57-6 if the student is unable to
pay. Failure to clear financial obligations will result in a student being prohibited from participation in any student activity as
defined in 8-57-2.
4. Work program. Students who are unable to pay for lost books, equipment or supplies, may participate in a work program with
parental and administrative approval.
5. Negligence. Special procedures for treatment of negligence are outlined in 8-57-8 and penalties may be applied if a student is
found to be willfully negligent. Transfer of obligations. Should students transfer to another PUBLIC school WITHIN THE
STATE, the financial obligation still remains and will transfer with the student. The school shall forward a copy of the
"bill" along with the student's records. The receiving school is responsible for collecting the outstanding obligation. If the
student's new school collects the restitution, that "collecting school" keeps the funds.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES - CO-CURRICULAR

PLURALS
The plurals of most nouns are formed by adding s to the singular.
Example
Ex
l s: pie - pies
desk - desks
machine - machines
The plural forms of nouns ending in sh, ch, x,
x s and z are made by adding es to the singular.
Example
Ex
l s: dish - dishes
fox - foxes
buzz- buzzes
church - churches
The plurals of common nouns which end in y preceded by a consonant are formed by changing the y to
i and adding es.
Example
Ex
l s: fly - flies
copy - copies
The plurals of words which end in y preceded by a vowel are formed by adding only s.
Example
Ex
l s: holiday - holidays
monkey - monkeys
The plurals of words ending in o preceded by a vowel are formed by adding s.
Example
Ex
l s: studio - studios
rodeo - rodeos
The plurals of words ending in o preceded by a consonant are formed by adding s or es.
Example
Ex
l s: hero - heroes
banjo - banjos
tomato - tomatoes
piano - pianos
The plurals of nouns ending in f or fe
f are formed in one of two ways:
If the f sound is still heard in the plural form, simply add s.
Example
Ex
l s: roof - roofs
chief - chiefs
If the final sound in the plural is a ve
v sound, change the f to ve
v and add s.
Example
Ex
l s: wife - wives
knife - knives
Foreign words and some English words form the plural by taking on an irregular spelling.
Example
Ex
l s: crisis - crises
criterion - criteria
goose - geese
ox - oxen
The plurals of symbols, letters, and figures are formed by adding an apostr
trophe and an s.
Example
Ex
l s: r - r's
5 - 5's
The plural of nouns which end in fu
f l are formed by adding s at the end of the word.
Example
Ex
l s: handful - handfuls
pailful - pailfuls
tankful - tankfuls
Eng
glish
SENTENCE STRUCTURE
A complete sentence must express a complete thought and must have a subject and a verb.
Example
Ex
l : He lost the game.
A sentence fragment results from a missing subject, verb, or complete thought.
Example
Ex
l : Because he was lost.
There are four types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.
A simple sentence consists of one main clause. It expresses one main thought and has one
subject and one predicate. A simple sentence may contain a compound subject or a compound verb or both.
Example
Ex
l s: We enjoyed the concert.
Amy and Scott were married yesterday. (compound subject: Amy and Scott)
Ben is leaving work and going home. (compound verb: leaving and going)
A compound sentence contains two or more main clauses (in italics) connected by a conjunction, a semicolon, or a comma with a conjunction.
Example
Ex
l s: Collllecti
ting fo
f ssilils is
i fu
f n but I fi

E ste
t r,
r and Bob we

A complex sentence has one main clause (in italics) and one or more subordinate clauses
(underlined).
Example
Ex
l s: Dad say
ays that g

grades are the result of diligent
g studying
y g. (main clause,
one independent clause)
Dililigent study

i di
d ff
fficult,
t however, when I have to work several hours

y g. (main clause, two dependent clauses)
A compound-complex sentence has two or more main clauses (in italics) and one or more
subordinate clauses (underlined).

Ex
l s: Because the school bus broke down, th

SPELLING RULES
Write i before e except after c, or when sounded like a as in we
w ig
i h and eig
i ht.
t
Exceptions: seize, weird, either, leisure, neither
When the ie
ie/ei combination is not pronounced ee, it is usually spelled ei.i
Example
Ex
l s: reign, weigh, neighbor
Excepti
Ex
t ons: friend, view, mischief, fiery
When a multi-syllable word ends in a consonant preceded by one vowel, the accent is on the
last syllable, and the suffix begins with a vowel - the same rule holds true: double the final
consonant.
Example
Ex
l s: prefer-preferred, allot-allotted, control-controlling
If a word ends with a silent e, drop the e before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.
Example
Ex
l s: use-using, like-liking, state-stating, love-loving
When the suffix begins with a consonant, you do not drop the e.
Example
Ex
l s: use-useful, state-statement; nine-ninety
Excepti
Ex
t ons: argument, judgment, truly, ninth
When y is the last letter in a word and the y is preceded by a consonant, change the “y” to “i
“”
before adding any suffix except those beginning with “i
“ ”.
Example
Ex
l s: lady-ladies, try-tries, happy-happiness, ply-pliable
Parts of Sp
peech
NOUN
A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, quality, act or feeling.
Common Nouns are general and do not refer to a specific, person, location or object.
Example
Ex
l s: man, city, tonight, honesty, happiness
Proper Nouns are capitalized and refer to a particular person, place or thing.
Example
Ex
l s: Robert, Market Square Arena, Saturday
PRONOUN
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun.
Nominative Case Pronouns replace the subject of a sentence or clause.
Example
Ex
l s: She took the bus to visit Aunt Jane.
We are looking forward to visiting Oregon.
Objective Case Pronouns receive a verb's action or follow a preposition.
Example
Ex
l s: Please give me the papers.
The award was given to him for his outstanding service.
Possessive Case Pronouns show ownership or possession.
Example
Ex
l s: The cougar escaped from its cage.
Their car slid off the icy road.
VERB
A verb is a word which expresses action or a state of being. It also indicates the time of action or state of being. A verb has different forms depending on its number, person, voice,
tense, and mood.
Number indicates whether a verb is singular or plural. The verb and its subject must
agree in number.
Example
Ex
l s: One dog barks.
T o dogs bark.
Tw
Person indicates whether the subject of the verb is 1 st , 2nd , or 31d person and whether
the subject is singular or plural. Verbs usually have a different form only in third person
singular of the present tense.
Example
Ex
l s:
Singular
g
Plural
1st Person
I stop.
We stop.
2nd Person
You stop.
You stop.
3rd Person
He/She/It stops. They stop.
T nse indicates when the action or state of being is taking place.
Te
Example
Ex
l s: We need the information now. (present)
Robert shot the ball. (past)
You will enjoy the school play. (future)
ADVERB
An adverb is a word that describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
An adverb tells how, when, where, why, how often, and how much.
Example
Ex
l s: The ball rolled slowly around the rim.
Soccer scores are reported daily in the newspaper.
The test was much easier than I anticipated.
Parts of Sp
peech
ADJECTIVE
An adjective is a word that describes or modifies nouns and pronouns. Adjectives specify
color, size, number, and the like.
Example
Ex
l s: red, large, three, gigantic, miniature
Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative.
The positive form describes a noun or pronoun without comparing it to anything else.
Example
Ex
l : My apple pie is good.
The comparative form compares two things.
Example
Ex
l : Aunt Betty's apple pie is better than mine.
The superlative form compares three or more things.
Example
Ex
l : Mom's apple pie is the best of all!
PREPOSITION
A preposition is a word (or group of words) which shows how a noun or pronoun relates
to another word in a sentence.
Example
Ex
l s: The man walked into the gym.
The horse leaped over the fence.
Wade travels everywhere by means of his bicycle.
Their team won the meet in spite of several players being injured.
CONJUNCTION
A conjunction is a word that connects individual words or groups of words.
A coordinating conjunction connects a word to a word, a clause to a clause, or a phrase to
a phrase. The sentence elements joined by a coordinating conjunction must be equal. Common coordinating conjunctions are: and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so. Coordinating conjunctions
used in pairs are called correlative conjunctions. Common correlative conjunctions are: either, or; neither, nor; not only, but also; both, and; whether, or
Example
Ex
l s: Raccoons and squirrels frequently invade our birdfeeders.
Neither Mary Ann nor Julie will be able to go with you.
A subordinating conjunction connects, and shows the relationship between, two clauses
which are not equally important. Common subordinate conjunctions are: until, unless,
since, where, before, as, if, when, although, after, because, while, as long as, as if, though,
whereas.
Example
Ex
l s: Until you decide to study, your grades won't improve.
If I hadn't already made plans, I would have enjoyed going to the mall with you.
INTERJECTION
An interjection is a word that is used in a sentence to communicate strong emotion or surprise. Punctuation is used to separate an interjection from the rest of the sentence.
Example
Ex
l s: Hooray! We finally scored a touchdown.
Oh, no! I forgot the picnic basket.
Y s! Her gymnastic routine was perfect.
Ye
Wow, the finale was dazzling.
Golly, I just can't believe how beautiful these mountains are.

Plag
giarism
Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s words or ideas as if they were one’s own. It is
even plagiarism to change a few words and give no credit to the author. It is a serious offense,
and, while you should be gathering ideas from other sources, those sources must be given
credit in accordance with the following guidelines.
•
•
•
If the exact words of an author are used, whether they are sentences or just phrases, quotation marks must be used and the source documented.
If an original idea of an author is used, even if it is not copied word for word, that idea
must be documented.
If information is found in at least three sources, it is considered common knowledge
(e.g. Washington was the first President of the United States.) And need not be documented as long as the original wording is paraphrased, not used exactly as printed.
Plagiarism is a problem for two reasons. First, it makes the teachers task of evaluating your
creativity much more difficult since it is often impossible to differentiate between your own
writing and that of the sources. Also, plagiarism is essentially theft - the stealing of someone
else’s intellectual property. Consequently, if evidence of substantial, presumably intended
plagiarism exists, a penalty will be imposed at the teacher’s discretion and may range
from a reduction in grade to no credit given for the paper. You should be prepared to prove
that your paper is properly documented by providing notes, note cards, books, articles or
other materials that would verify the authenticity of documentation.

Keep notes, lists, and journals to jog your memory.
Decide what is most important to remember by looking for main ideas.
Classify information into categories. Some categories may be:
a. Time - summer, sun, swimming, hot
b. Place - shopping center, stores, restaurants
c. Similarities - shoes, sandals, boots
d. Differences - mountain, lake
e. Wholes to parts - bedroom, bed, pillow
f. Scientific groups - Flowers, carnation, rose
Look for patterns. Try to make a word out of the first letters of a list you are trying to remember. You could also make a sentence out of the first letters of the words you need
to remember. For example, it is easy to remember the nine planets when you know that
“My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nectarines.” (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)
Associate new things you learn with what you already know.
Use rhythm or make up a rhyme.
Visualize the information in your mind.
a. See the picture clearly and vividly.
b. Exaggerate and enlarge things.
c. See it in three dimensions.
d. Put yourself into the picture.
e. Imagine an action taking place.
Link the information together to give it meaning.
Use the information whenever you can. Repetition is the key to memory.

Concentrate. Do not talk or distract others.
Listen carefully to the directions. Ask questions if they are not clear.
Pace yourself. Keep your eye on the time, but do not worry too much about not finishing.
Work through all of the questions in order. If you do not think you know an answer to a
problem, skip it and come back to it when you have finished the test.
5. Read all of the possible answers for each question before choosing an answer.
6. Eliminate any answers which are clearly wrong, and choose from the others. Words like
“always” and “never” often signal that an answer is false.
7. If questions are based on a reading passage, read the questions first and then the passage. Then go back and try to answer the questions. Scan through the passage one last
time to make sure the answers are correct.
8. When you finish the test, go back through and check your answers for careless mistakes. Change answers only if you are sure they are wrong or you have a very strong feeling they are wrong.
9. Do not be afraid to guess at a question. If you have a hunch you know the answer, you
probably do!
10. Use all of the time allotted to check and recheck your test.

Listening (unlike hearing, which is a physical process not requiring thinking) gives meaning
to the sounds you hear. It helps you understand. Listening is an active process that requires
concentration and practice. In learning, the teacher’s responsibility is to present information;
the student responsibility is to be “available” for learning. Not listening means you will be
unable to learn the material.
T help develop listening skills:
To
•
Approach the classroom ready to learn; leave personal problems outside the classroom.
Try to avoid distractions.
•
Even if you do not sit close to the teacher, focus your attention directly on him/her.
•
Pay attention to the teacher’s style and how the lecture is organized.
•
Participate; ask for clarification when you do not understand.
•
T ke notes.
Ta
•
Listen for key words, names, events, and dates.
•
Don’t make hasty judgments; separate fact from opinion.
•
Connect what you hear with what you already know.

Skills
•
Keep track of your daily assignments in this planning calendar so you will always know
what you have to do.
•
Homework is an essential part of learning. Even though you may not have written homework to do, you can always review or re-read assignments. The more you review information, the easier it is to remember and the longer you are able to retain it.
•
Realize that homework is considered an important part of learning. Not doing your homework because you do not believe in homework is self-defeating behavior.
•
It is your responsibility to find out what you have missed when you are absent. Ta
T ke the
initiative to ask a classmate or teacher what you need to make up. You need to also know
when it needs to be turned in. If you are out for three days, your homework may be requested through the office.
•
Have a place to study that works for you—one that is free from distractions. Be honest
with yourself about using the TV or stereo during study time. Make sure you have everything you need before you begin to work.
•
Develop a schedule that you can follow. Be rested when you study. It is okay to study in
short blocks of time. Marathon study sessions may be self-defeating.
•
Prioritize your homework so that you begin with the most important assignment first:
study for a test, then do the daily assignment, etc.
•
Study for 30-40 minutes at a time, then take a 5-10 minute break. Estimate the amount
of time it will take to do an assignment and plan your break time accordingly.

TTaking notes reinforces what we hear in the classroom and requires active listening. Having accurate information makes your outside study and review time that much easier.
Good note taking requires practice.
•
Be aware of each teacher's lecture style; learning how to adapt to each style takes patience. Ta
T ke notes as you (attentively) listen to the lecture. Keep notes in an individual
notebook for each class or a loose-leaf binder which has a section for each class. Your
teacher may have certain requirements.
•
Date each day's notes and keep them in chronological order. Some teachers provide outlines which tell you how a series of lectures will be organized; other teachers will deliver
their lectures and expect you to write the information in your notes. Most teachers will
emphasize important points by stressing them or repeating them a few times. Make a note
in the margin or highlight any information the teacher specifically identifies as important.
•
Write notes in short phrases, leaving out unnecessary words. Use abbreviations. Write
clearly so you will be able to understand your notes when you review.
•
If you make a mistake, a single line through the material is less time consuming than trying to erase the whole thing. This will save time and you won't miss any of the lecture.
Don't copy your notes over to make them neat; write them neatly in the first place. Don't
create opportunities to waste your time.
•
Write notes on the right two-thirds of the notebook page. Keep the left one-third free for
your follow-up questions or to highlight the really important points in the discussion.
•
Listen for key ideas. Write them down in your own words. Don't try to write down every
word that your teachers say. Some teachers will use the chalkboard or an overhead projector to outline these key ideas. Others will simply stress them in their discussion.
•
Soon after class, while the information is still fresh in your mind, create questions directly
related to your notes in the left column of the paper. Place these questions across from
the information to which it pertains. Highlight or underline any key points, terms, events
or people. Quiz yourself by covering the 2/3 side of your notes and try to answer the
questions that you developed without referring to your notes. If you need to refresh your
memory, simply uncover the note section to find the answers to your questions. Short,
quick reviews will help you remember and understand the information as well as prepare
for tests.
•
Review your notes daily. This reinforces the information as well as allows you to make
sure that you are understanding the material.
•
Make sure your notes summarize, not duplicate the material.
•
Devise your own use of shorthand.
•
Vary the size of titles and headings.
•
Use a creative approach, not the standard outline form.
•
Keep class lecture notes and study notes together.

For Su
Success
Successful people don’t become successful by luck. Their success is the result of setting
goals and working to achieve those goals. In other words, successful people plan to succeed.
Y u, too, can plan to succeed. Don’t procrastinate - good intentions will not help you succeed.

Start planning for success today!
ORGANIZAT
A ION - Getting organized is the first step to success.
•
Remember that you are responsible for knowing about and completing your assignments and special projects.
•
Make sure you have a planning calendar to write down your homework, extracurricular
activities, community activities, and home responsibilities.
•
Make sure you have all the materials you need when you go to class and when you do
your homework.
TIME MANAGEMENT - Managing time wisely will help ensure that you have the opportunity
to do both the things you need to do and the things you want to do.
•
Plan a definite time to do your homework.
•
Plan time for extracurricular and social activities as well as home responsibilities.
•
Commit yourself to your time plan, but be flexible. For example, if something happens
that makes it impossible for you to do homework during the regularly scheduled time,
plan an alternate time to do the homework.
SETTING PRIORITIES - If you have lots to do, it is important to set priorities.
•
Rank each task in 1, 2, 3 order. Start with #1 - the most important task - and continue
on down the list.
•
When doing homework, start with the subject that needs the most improvement.
•
Check off finished tasks.
•
If you frequently find that you cannot finish all the tasks on your list, you may need to
prioritize your optional activities and eliminate some that are low on your priority list.
GOAL SETTING - Just wishing to get better grades or to excel in soccer accomplishes nothing. You need a plan of action to achieve your goals. Setting goals will result in better
grades and higher self-esteem. Best of all, setting goals will make you feel in control of
your life. Some hints for setting goals:
•
Be specific. List specific goals for each academic subject. Also list goals for other school
and home activities.
•
Set time limits. Your goals can be both short term (within a month or on the next quiz
or test) and long term (within the semester or within the school year).
•
Set realistic goals. For example, if math has always been difficult for you, don't aim for an
“A” in Algebra at the beginning of the year. If you usually get a “C-” in math, you may want
to begin by setting a short term goal of “C+” or “B-”. Reaching that first short term goal will
give you the confidence to raise your goal for the next test or the next grading period.
•
Draw up a step-by-step plan of action for reaching each goal; then go for it!
•
Write down your goals and put them in several places (your locker, your planner, your
bulletin board) so that you will see them several times a day.
•
Share your goals with others - your parents, teachers, good friends, etc. They can give
you encouragement.
•
Keep at it! Be determined and keep a positive attitude. Visualize yourself achieving your goals.
•
Reward yourself when you reach a goal.
