Seventh Grade
High school is getting closer every day. Make sure you work hard, and don’t forget to have fun! You have a lot to look forward to! Use the following timeline to find out what you should be doing while you are in seventh grade.
Seventh Grade Timeline
- Tell everyone you know that you want to go to college! Your parents, teachers, counselors, coaches and more are there to help you make it happen.
- Do your best to get good grades (be organized, manage your time, pay
attention in class, take good notes, read your textbooks, study).
- Work hard in your classes, especially in academic subjects like math, English and science.
- Ask lots of questions if you don’t understand something. (Remember:
There is no such thing as a dumb question. Your teachers are there to
help you!)
- Read at least 30 minutes a day in addition to what you read as part
of your homework. It can be relaxing and fun.
- Get involved in community service, school activities and take advantage
of opportunities to explore something new.

science and social studies classes you can handle.
- Add classes in art, computers or a world language.
