Greetings!
The end of the year is quickly approaching with final exams for freshmen, sophomores and juniors administered during the week of May 29 through June 1. While we understand that students anxiously await the arrival and relaxation that comes with summer, we hope you'll help us impart just how important it is to remain focused throughout these last 10 days.
Although teachers have been assisting students in the exam prep process, it is ultimately the students' responsibility to study and be ready to take the test. Fortunately as parents, you can also take steps now to successfully help your student prepare for the test.
We strongly encourage all parents to take advantage of these hints and tips for engaging your child in the following exam preparation techniques:
- Review the exam schedule with your child to make sure he/she knows when to be at school.
- Help make sure your child arrives on time for all exams.
- Help your child organize and prioritize his/her time.
- Make sure your child has a quiet place, free of distractions, to study and prepare for exams.
- Remind your child to bring home the appropriate study materials.
- Have the necessary materials on hand that your child needs to to study. Some examples include:
- index cards (for creating flashcards).
- pens, pencils, and paper (for writing definitions and math problems out).
- color pencils and markers.
- batteries for calculators.
- Be sure your child gets plenty of rest during exam time. Pulling "all-nighters" is neither the best way to learn the information nor healthy.
- Be sure your child eats breakfast before coming to school to take exams.
- Encourage your child to study. Offer small rewards (such as making a favorite meal) for studying.
- Volunteer to quiz your child on the test material, or allow him/her to tell you the information out loud (some students remember things better when reciting it out loud).
- Remind your child to take breaks from studying. Getting a snack, taking a short walk/jog, etc. can help students regain focus and energy.
Finally, before the end of next week, browse the spring exam information at cjeagles.org for the daily exam schedules, a list of student expectations and more important details.
Sincerely,
Steve Fuchs, Director of the Academic Office | email
