Freshman Resources

Freshman year is a critical transition period when students begin contributing to their permanent scholastic record.

Below are several resources that will support you in your success as a student at Cypress Woods High School:

2011 Freshman Orientation Handbook - Information and tips for ninth graders who are transitioning to the Woods and joining the pride, success and unity that have become known as the Wildcat Way!
Log Sheet for Community Service Hours – keeping a record of the community service hours you attain will prove beneficial when you begin applying for scholastic organizations such as NHS. You will also include this information on your student resume and it is often requested on college applications. Some clubs provide log sheets or you may use this generic template.
Sample Student Resume – students will benefit greatly from creating a resume during freshman year and adding to it at the end of each semester. The sample student resume is intended to serve as a general guideline for an academic resume.
Course Information Sheet – this form is useful for students or parents to consolidate important information from each course onto one sheet for quick and easy reference.
