WHAT'S GOING ON?

What are my students feeling?

You can tell how a student is feeling by looking right at their faces. There is also a "Students" button at the top of the screen which will show you a list of your students, with little face icons which indicate their mood.

Why are there stars over my student's head?

Your student got dissed! Select them and check out their journal to find out what happened.

Why is my student crying?

High school can be rough. Maybe your student was dissed one too many times, is feeling really lonely, got dumped, or just can't make that jump shot no matter how hard they try.

The Big Test is coming! What do I do?

Study, study, study. You only have 2 days -- your students better be ready in time!

The Big Game is coming! What do I do?

Make sure you have a strong basketball team, or you're going to get creamed in the state competition.

Art Show? What art show?

All the big art critics and art school recruiters are invited, so make sure your students create the best work they can!

The Prom is coming! What do I do?

Your students will have three days to beg and grovel to find someone to go with to the prom.

One of my students is throwing a party...

The party boy or girl has 2 days to invited people to the party. You better hope people will come, or someone's going to look like a total loser.

When do my students graduate?

Patience. Graduation won't happen until you've completed all the events. Check the events menu to see which ones are left. Once graduation is complete, you'll start a new school year and get two fresh new freshmen to replace the outgoing seniors.

Why did a bunch of students just get up from the lunch table and walk away?

Lunch can be brutal. Maybe someone sat down at the table and the students already there didn't approve of their new neighbor...

Why are my students frowning?

Different students have different needs. Read their journal and try to figure out what's bugging them, then see if there's anything you can do to help.

What are my students talking about?

When students talk to each other, you can tell what they're talking about and how they feel about it by looking at the talk bubbles over their heads.

When you see this bubble it means the student doesn't have any strong feelings about the topic they're discussing. They might like it or dislike it a little, but they don't love it and they don't hate it.
This bubble means the student is excited about or loves whatever they're talking about.
The icy bubble means the student hates or isn't into what they're talking about.


These icons tell you what students are talking about:

Playing basketball and how much they like going to the gym
Studying and going to the library
Painting and going to the art room
When students have gotten to know each other a little bit, they'll gossip about other students in the school.
When students are friends with each other, they'll chat about stuff like the weather, TV, and music.
This means the student has a crush on the other student. If the other student replies with heart, it means they both like each other and they'll start dating.
You'll see the broken heart when a student doesn't like the person who asked them out, or if they want to dump the person they're dating.
If the prom is coming up, students will ask each other to go using this icon. If they want to go, they'll respond with the same icon. If they don't...
Students will say this if they're not interested in going to the prom with the person who asked them.
If a student is throwing a party, they'll use this icon to ask other students to go.
