Midterm Exams
  

Students in grades 8 - 12 will take midterm exams on January 16th, 17th, and 18th.  These exams are given in blocks of time, so making up exams is difficult and students need to be in school at the required times.  During Advisory Time, students have discussed test taking strategies and some of the most important strategies are to study over a long period of time, get enough sleep during exam week and to eat a good breakfast and lunch.  It is recommended that students begin studying during their winter break; cramming for exams the day before is not the most effective way of studying.   
 

Daily Exam Schedule

                              Wednesday, Jan. 16th     Thursday, Jan. 17th     Friday, Jan. 18th
Morning Exam           Math                               Science                         Foreign Language
Afternoon Exam        English                            History                          Make-Up Exams


  

Students in 7th grade will take ERB exams on these three days.  Please assure that students arrive to school on time on January 16th - 18th.
