A- Some teachers give more homework than others. For the most part,you won't get a ton of homework at one time. Most people are able to manage it. Don't believe those people that say you'll be up way late every night. The first couple of days the school seems huge, but in reality, it isn't that big.

When you register for a class and then don't like it, you can pick up a class change form in the office. You meet with your house on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. During house you talk about school issues, go to a gym, mess around outside, and all kinds of things. There are 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in in your house. You will be in the same house for all three years that you are at Roosevelt.
