Starting the school year off on the right foot

It is that time of year again where students are heading back to school after well-deserved summer vacation. Regardless of their level of education (elementary, high school, adult education or post-secondary), these tips will help start the school year off on the right foot:

●Use an agenda to track your homework, upcoming exams and extracurricular activities.

Schedule time for studying, visiting with family and work to ensure a healthy balance of each.

Eat a nutritious breakfast and get a good night's sleep to feel energized and ready to learn.
