Coordinator's Corner (May 27-30)

Quote of the Week: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” ~ Nelson Mandela

 

 

Coordinator’s Message:  You are almost to the finish line!  Be sure to create a study schedule to ensure you have enough time to prepare.  Check Engrade (or other grading systems) to see your standing in each class and make sure there are no discrepancies.  Collect and organize all necessary materials to study over the next two weeks.  Talk to teachers about concepts you still don’t understand.  Arrange study groups.  And once it is all over, take some time over summer vacation to reflect on your experience and performance this year, and bring that analysis with you in to the following year.
