Underclassmen:
Exam Schedule Now Available Online!
Final exams are right around the corner and it is not too early for your son or daughter to be preparing for these exams. Underclassmen final exams take place the week of May 22.
The time schedule that will be followed is:
Exam
8:00-9:40
Change of Class
9:40-9:55
Exam
9:55-11:35
Announcements
11:35-11:40
Conference Period
11:45-1:30
Complete information regarding the order of exams is posted on our website by clicking the link below.
Teachers will be available during the conference periods. Students may also take advantage of a quiet study place in the cafeteria. If students would prefer to study at home, they may leave at 11:40. Please note that students that remain will be required to be in either the cafeteria or with a teacher.
The semester exam represents 10% of the overall grade for a one credit class and therefore must be taken seriously. Help you child develop a study plan, setting aside some time each night to review. Identify the subjects your child finds most challenging and break the content into manageable pieces that can be reviewed. If you find yourself saying my son or daughter never does well on these tests, maybe reviewing how your child approaches studying for the test will make a difference. You have already identified that the present approach is not all that effective. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email your child's teacher or myself (

Sincerely,
Jeanine M. Flick, Academic Dean

England/Scotland Travel Meeting This Tuesday!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I will be taking a group of student travelers to Scotland and England for Intersession 2018. We will be traveling with EF Educational Tours to combine the best quality with the best price. Some of the highlights of the 10 day tour include visits to Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Loch Ness, Inverness and the Scottish Highlands, England's beautiful Lake District, Hadrian's Wall, York and much, much more.
Global awareness is more essential than ever for our children, and the best way to become globally aware is by traveling abroad. Experiencing new cultures not only opens students' eyes to the world, it also prepares them for the future. Students who partake in this opportunity will grow their social skills, connect to their studies outside of the classroom and set themselves apart when applying to college and their future careers.
Mark your calendars because I am holding a mandatory informational meeting on Tuesday, May 9th at 5:30 PM in the English Lab. This will be your opportunity to learn about the itinerary and experiences included on this tour. I can only take a limited number of students with me and those spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis. If you areinterested in providing this once in a lifetime experience for your child, your attendance atthis meeting is critical.
Sincerely,
Laura Rupp
