Text Box:       Study Skills is a time when you can work on your home work. It helps students out allot if they do not have time after school to do all of it. 
      Study Skills is part of electives. In middle school for fourth hour you get to chose between band and electives. Electives has four classes it is divided up into four different parts of the year.
