Good afternoon-
Happy Family Reconnect Weekend. I hope you have the opportunity to spend some quality time even as your student starts to prepare for their mid-term exams at the end of next week. Preparation should include getting enough rest, eating healthy meals and taking breaks to have fun.
Here are some articles on preparing for an exam:
10-effective-exam-preparation-tips-for-high-school-students
Scientifically-the-best-ways-to-prepare-for-final-exams
The schedule for mid-term exams is attached here. Please remember that students can only miss an exam for excused reasons listed in the student handbook. Students can not choose to miss an exam and complete it during the make-up time. If you have questions about this policy please direct it to the teacher or your student's counselor.
Buses will run on the normal schedule. Students are welcome to spend time in their assigned classroom, the library, cafeteria, or counseling office if they are staying at school for the day.
The Model UN club will host movies in the auditorium for a nice brain break!
