A Teacher's Helping Hand

     Here at Montrose School we have amazing teachers. They have had many achievements throughout the years.  I asked teachers a few questions and here are some of their responses. What are some ways for students to study? Teachers would like students to review notes and activities about what we did in class to understand how it relates to what we were learning. Instead of trying to memorize everything right before the test and then forgetting it after. Overall goals for this semester is for students to actually understand and comprehend what they are learning and not just to pass a test or receive a good grade.
