We are nearing the end of 2011 and looking forward to the new year. Now is the time for all students to start thinking about mid-year exams and making sure all of their assignments are completed and turned in before the holiday break. I would encourage all students to take all of their materials home to review during their break. Exams will begin 8 days after we return from break and it is never too early to start preparing as the exams will count 1/4 of the semester grade. Encourage your student to review a little bit each day and they will be ready for those exams.
