Dear Chap Parents/Guardians,
Finals week is December 15 through the 19. We take pride in this week, as it gives students an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have acquired this semester. In addition, the exams, projects and presentations that will take place in our classrooms prepare students for similar “high-stakes” situations after their graduation from high school.
Please remember:
Finals bell schedule.
Preparation is extremely important. Discuss finals with your student(s) and strategies you use to prepare for big events in your life.
Teachers are available each morning of finals week during homeroom sessions for your student(s) to ask questions or get further assistance.
- Encourage your student(s) to get a good night’s sleep and eat before their finals
Bus Transportation will run on a regular day schedule - no early pick-up.
Finals are scheduled for half days. If a student cannot arrange transportation home after their final ends, they are expected to study quietly in the Commons.
No lunches will be served after finals.
Friday, December 19, is a teacher work/grading day and no students will be in attendance.
Semester grades will be posted on December 19.
We wish all of our students success on their finals.
Chaparral Administrative Team
Please be aware that in order not to interrupt testing, NO PASSES will be delivered during finals week.
After winter break all leftover junior lot parking passes will be made available to sophomores that already have their driver's license. Any juniors or seniors hoping to buy a parking pass, please do so as soon as possible. See Mrs. Vertner at the finance window to purchase your pass.

SOURCES OF STRENGTH
Last year our Sources of Strength team introduced us to the Positive Friend and Mentor awards and we were excited to continue this Chap Family tradition. This is an opportunity for students to nominate positive friends and mentors who go above and beyond to lift others up, show kindness, and truly take care of one another. Congratulations to our 34 students recognized as positive friends and 19 staff members nominated as mentors.
There are shoes, jackets, lunch bags, clothing and so many water bottles all waiting to be claimed!
All items in Chaparral's lost and found collection bins will be donated to charity during the winter break. Please remind your student(s) to look through the containers for their misplaced items.

Freshman and Sophomore Parents:
Can You Help?
We are excited to announce that planning is beginning for this year's After Prom event.
After Prom is in need of getting Freshman and Sophomore parents involved in planning.
With this being a 100% parent run event we are trying to figure out how to get the word out so After Prom can continue for future classes.
It looks like we have enough money to continue for the next 2 years. After that we will not have the funds to continue After Prom without planning ahead.
Please contact Heidi (hbminnesota@yahoo.com) or Kendra (bacowhite6@gmail.com) if you are willing to help.
Please join us at our future meeting dates in the library
January. 27
