TO:                   Parents, Students, and Middle & Upper School Faculty

FROM:             Tom Stevens

SUBJECT:         Exams and the end of the Third trimester

DATE:               May 9, 2008

The third trimester is quickly coming to a close.  Below is the schedule for the trimester review and exams.  I believe I have been able to foresee most of the conflicts and have reviewed them with the faculty.  

Students, the time to study for exams is now.  Getting your papers together, figuring out what you know and understand and what you need to know better and understand more deeply, and considering what questions you need to ask your teachers all need to take place well ahead of the exam itself.  Plan on studying each night in preparation for your exams; studies on memory show that long term memory is aided by properly spaced review more than by “cramming.”  

PLEASE NOTE:  MIDDLE AND UPPER SCHOOLS HAVE SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT EXAM SCHEDULES.  BE SURE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE CORRECT SCHEDULE! 

Reminder:  We only have one designated Review Day this year, Thursday, May 29.  All teachers need to distribute a review guide to students by May 22.
