ようにして usage in a sentence


> **上手く立ち回って、退学にならないようにしてね。**

**ようにする** : 1. (following a verb) **to be sure to** ; 2. **to do** (
**something** ) **so that** ; 3. **to make sure to** ; 4. **to try to**.
(according to **nihongomaster.com** )

I was just wondering is it proper to apply **ようにする** on 2 verbs?

If it was based on the above sentence, the translation will be like:

**"Well, make sure to deal with it properly, and try not to drop out of
school"**

It sounds much better and clearer.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.




`退学にならないようにしてね` means "Please make sure you aren't **kicked out** of school"
(`退学になる` excludes voluntary dropping out). `上手く立ち回って` here means "maneuvering
right / playing your cards right" precedes this avoidance of being kicked out
(it implies this would be the cause of not being kicked out).

So, taken together it means:

> Play your cards right and avoid getting kicked out of school
