A Quick Note
The academic calendar is more than just dates on a page, it is like the script for how the whole school year will play out. Missing a deadline can feel like missing a moving bus, nobody likes that. So, pin it to your wall, scribble it in your diary, or save it on your phone.
For students, fresh or returning, it is time to start setting your pace. After all, school runs are like a marathon, not a sprint. Stay ready, as a Delta student might say with a grin, no dulling.
