Practical Strategies for Success: WFS 9th Graders Explore Organization, Study Skills, and Support Services

At Wilmington Friends School, our faculty and student support staff collaborate regularly to ensure that every student experiences a smooth, thoughtful transition into high school. Recently, 9th graders rotated through three workshops:
- Using the Assignment Center and tips for using digital resources to stay organized and manage workload, led by Director of Technology Gregg Miller.

- Adjusting to upper school life, study skills, habits, and strategies for academic success, led by MS/US Learning Resources Coordinator Stella Mask.

- Student support services and how to access resources when needed, led by Danielle Litterelle, MS/US Counselor, and Amanda Reese, MS/US Nurse.

Together, these sessions offered practical strategies and reminders that help students build confidence and feel prepared for the opportunities and challenges of upper school.

Using research-based practices, teachers intentionally weave strategies for organization, study skills, and self-advocacy into daily classroom instruction—skills that support success across disciplines. This integrated approach fosters independence, confidence, and a strong foundation for the high school journey.
