Our HIQ regionals were held this past Monday in Nease's media center with five other schools participating in the tournament. We are pleased to announce that our JV team beat PV in the finals (356-189) and took home the first place trophy!

Girls Basketball
IN TOTAL COMMAND
Nease was able to establish superiority upon arrival at the gym on Friday. The Lady Panthers pounced early and often, taking control of the Lady Commanders from Ed White. Playing on back to back nights, did not deter Nease's path to victory. The Lady Panthers shut out The Lady Commanders in the first quarter (18-0) and imposed their will through intermission, leading 33-0 at half.
With the 'mercy rule' in place the entire second half, Nease (3-2, 2-0) emptied the bench and adhered to the automatic pilot command the rest of the way, posting the 54-3 win. Center Camille Hobby posted another double-double (13 pts./14 rebs. and five steals). Sophomore guard Karissa Niles poured in 12 pts. and her backcourt mate, Kiya Turner scored 8 pts., dished out 9 assists and pulled down 8 rebounds.
Nease will be off until Thursday (12/07), when they play host to Bartram.

Before students are released for Winter Break, all Academy students will take part in the Intent to Return process through their Academy class. Students will be asked to indicate if they want to remain in their Academy for the 2018-19 school year by signing an Intent to Return roster. If the student checks “Yes,” than that student will be automatically re-enrolled in the Academy for 2018-19. If an Academy student checks “No” on the roster to indicate that he/she does not want to continue in the Academy next year, a form will be sent home for the student and a parent to sign, confirming that the student would like to be removed from the Academy for 2018-19.
In regard to Out of Zone students, district policy states that Out of Zone Academy students no longer have to fill out an Out of Zone Waiver each year. Simply being on an Academy roster acts as the student’s Out of Zone waiver.
If you have any questions or concerns about Nease’s Academy of Hospitality & Tourism, Communications Academy, or the Stellar Academy of Engineering, please contact Jaime Combs, Academy Coordinator, at

20 Study Strategies for Finals Week provided by FastWeb (
www.fastweb.com
)
1. Create your own study guide.
While many teachers provide a study guide, creating your own can help you understand the material better. Outlining the important information you need to learn can be helpful, both in creation and to refer to during your studies.
2. Ask questions.
Your teachers are there to help! Ask them questions regarding the material and the exam so that you’re prepared when exam time arrives.
3. Attend the review session.
Review sessions offer vital information on exam format, what will be on the exam and key concepts you should be focusing your studies on.
4. Start early.
If you always start ahead of schedule, you’ll never be cramming the night before an exam. You’ll almost always perform better in doing so!
5. Organize a group study session.
It can be helpful to study in groups – sometimes. Evaluate whether or not studying with others will be beneficial to the subject as well at your learning process.
6. Study things not on the study guide.
Study guides aren’t always comprehensive – they’re just suggestions of the main concepts to learn. Use your study guide for its intended purpose: a guide. Be sure to fill in the blanks with related information.
7. Take breaks.
You won’t be able to memorize or comprehend all the material at once. Balance is key – ensure that you reward learning with break times to recharge and relax.
8. Stay well-rested.
There’s a lot to be said about a good night’s sleep. Make sure you’re
well-rested
so that you can be fully focused during your exams.
9. Create a study schedule – and follow it.
Splitting the material into chucks you can actually achieve can be very beneficial. That way, you can keep track of what you’ve accomplished instead of looking at the big picture and getting overwhelmed.
10. Prioritize your study time.
Some exams will be more difficult than others, some you may find easier to study for. Some may be worth more of your grade than others. Make sure to evaluate all of your exams to consider and determine all of the involved factors so you can study accordingly.
11. Study for the style of exam.
If it’s multiple choice, you’ll need to know definitions and concepts. For essay exams, focus on your understanding of all the concepts presented, with examples in mind.
12. Quiz yourself.
If you think about and create actual exam questions, you will likely become more familiar with what you need to study and, in the meantime, familiarize yourself with the type of language that will be on the exam. Draft potential exam questions and quiz yourself so that you can set expectations of what you need to focus on.
13. Meet with your teacher.
Often times, meeting with an instructor, can give you helpful hints for what to study and ways to prepare for the exam.
14. Reorganize your notes.
Evaluate and reorganize your notes into what’s important, outlining important concepts, formulas dates and definitions so they’re easy to understand.
15. Pace yourself.
Make sure you stay focused and don’t burn yourself out. A great way to do so is to pace yourself rather than opting for the dreaded all-nighter. You can easily pace yourself by following tips like starting early, creating a study schedule and taking breaks when necessary!
16. Teach classmates.
Learning by teaching is a method that really works! If you work with a study buddy and explain concepts to one another, you’re re-learning the material all over again. It’s a great way to reinforce what you’ve learned and help someone in the meantime!
17. Revolve your focus.
Switching up your subjects is a helpful way to learn everything for your exams while preventing burnout on one topic. Make sure to switch it up
before
your eyes glaze over! That way, you can keep studying for longer periods of time while maintaining your focus.
18. Color code it.
Create a system that allows you to color code material that’s going to be on the exam by what’s most important, less important, etc. This will help you focus on the most pertinent information and prioritize the material.
19. Visualize.
If you’re a visual learner, it can help to create mind maps or diagrams to visualize how the concepts you’re learning relate to one another. This is especially beneficial when learning concepts that build upon the understanding of one another, like in science courses.
20. Make it fun.
It’s easier to focus if you adapt to studying by quizzing yourself, creating acronyms or rewarding yourself for a job well done. Create a game plan – literally – that allows you to accomplish tasks and be rewarded for each.
For example, why not reward yourself with a piece of chocolate or a sip of your coffee after you’ve accomplished a new chapter or allow yourself five minutes of free time for every chunk of material you digest?
You can even add in fun factors like power-ups every time you learn a new definition and lose a life, which means you add another definition to your list, when you get an answer wrong!
Completion of Virtual School Courses for Semester 1:
All virtual school courses must be completed by December 21, 2017 in order for the grades to be reflected on the first semester transcript. All virtual school courses completed after this date will not be reflected with the first semester grades.

Great Decisions, brought to us by World Affairs Council Jacksonville
http://www.worldaffairscounciljax.org, is a non-partisan high school enrichment program on foreign affairs that fosters critical-thinking, conversation and decision-making skills. College professors and high school teachers co-facilitate the monthly sessions at school, and encourage students to drive the conversation, ask questions and share opinions. Additionally, interactive program components off campus provide students the opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in peer discussions. For content information see
http://www.fpa.org/great_decisions
If interested, please join the Schoology group, “Great Decisions Nease” access code 5VTWW-9SNBQ. All events and opportunities will be announced through that Schoology group.
Please note that Great Decisions, The World Affairs Council of Jacksonville, and the Foreign Policy Association are not officially affiliated with Nease High School nor with the Saint Johns County School District. They offer these timely and relevant events to the community free of charge, and I believe they are valuable because they bear on the material taught in many of the courses here at Nease.
