Be Your Barbizon Best at Your New School

Going to a new school can be really hard. Here are some tips to make it easier to be your Barbizon best:

See if you can go see your new school before it opens. Find out where everything is so you won't have to ask where the bathroom is.

Be the first to introduce yourself. Break the ice. Try to remember your classmate's names. Start conversations and ask what they like to do.

Always smile. Get to know everyone first before rushing to make friends.

Don't forget why you're there: to learn. Stay on top of your grades and do your homework.

Get involved in activities and clubs.

Stay in touch with your old friends from your other school. Call and email. They are a good support system when you need someone to talk to.
