Success Tips Tuesday!
🌍 Tips for Learning a New Language
*Practice every day – Even 10 minutes counts! Consistency matters more than cramming.
*Start with everyday words – Learn greetings, numbers, food, and things you actually use.
*Listen like a local – Watch shows, listen to music, or follow social media in that language.
*Speak out loud – Don’t just read it—say it. Your brain remembers better when you hear yourself.
*Make mistakes (and laugh at them!) – Mistakes mean you’re learning.
*Use flashcards or apps – or even sticky notes around your room.
*Find a friend – Practice with someone else, even if they’re learning too.
*Celebrate small wins – Ordering food, saying hello, or understanding a phrase is success!
👉 Remember: The more you use it, the faster you’ll learn it.

Why does GPA matter? Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is one of the biggest factors colleges look at when reviewing applications. A strong GPA shows that you're prepared for the rigor of college-level work and have the study habits to succeed.
GPA also plays a role in scholarship opportunities and eligibility for programs like honors societies and dual enrollment. Keeping your grades up now opens more doors later - for college, career pathways, and beyond!✨

Mrs. Garcia-Herreros wears many hats - she teaches English Language Arts, Spanish, and French, and also serves as the National (Junior) Honor Society (NHS & NJHS) advisor. Students must maintain strong grades to be invited to join the National Honor Society, and Mrs. Garcia-Herreros helps guide them on that journey. Under her leadership, the NHS/NJHS Students are quick to volunteer on the HVS campus to support teachers bringing our school community even closer together. We’re so grateful for her dedication and the many ways she supports our students’ success.
