Your Google Calendar is going to be an essential tool to keep you up-to-date with middle school activities and events, as well as personal to-dos, events and reminders. Have your calendar tab open all the time and check it at least once-a-day.
Open Google Chrome and make sure you are logged in to your SAS Google account.

the Middle School calendar
You should assign each of your calendars a different color so they are easy to distinguish from each other.
Explore Google Calendar. See how many of the following things you can find answers to. When you find something interesting or useful, please share with a neighbor.
When is the next Red Day 1?
What dates are the Fall break?
When does season 2 of the after-school activities start?
A great way to stay organized and up-to-date with what is happening in the middle school is to read the MS Bulletin regularly. It is updated twice a week. You can use this link to access the MS Bulletin.
Now make a bookmark for the MS Bulletin so it is always just one click away.
All the classes you are enrolled in will create a calendar that you can use to see what is happening or due in you classes HOWEVER there is a better way for you to manage your homework . . . . Google Classroom.
Google Drive is your online 'cloud' storage.
You can use Google Drive to organize and save all of your work in the cloud. Teachers and students will use Drive to share documents with you.
Keeping your Google Drive organized will help you be more efficient and productive. You can create your own folders and color code them.
Your Drive has a special folder called CLASSROOM. Change the folder color to RED. All your Google Classroom classes have a folder in this folder. Never move, delete or rename the 'Classroom' folder or any of the class folders in it.
For tips on how to organize and manage your Drive, and the share and collaborate, watch the videos below.

Naming your files well is good practice for keeping your files organized and easily searchable. You will also be able to easily tell which documents are for which class.)

Create a sub-heading called 'At School'.
Make a list of 5 actions/habits that you will try to do or use to help keep you 'digitally' well organized at school.
Create a sub-heading called 'At Home'.
Make a list of 5 actions/habits that you will try to do or use to help keep you 'digitally' well organized at home.
