You are expected to take your finals on the dates listed above. In the event of an emergency and you are unable to, please contact the grade level office ASAP!

1. STAY ACTIVE ~take short breaks to stretch or go for a walk. Try a quick workout to recharge your energy!

2. GET ENOUGH SLEEP~aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to boost memory and focus. Avoid all-nighters-they do more harm than good!

3. STAY HYDRATED & EAT WELL~keep a water bottle with you while studying. fuel your brain with healthy snacks like nuts, fruit, or yogurt instead of sugary treats.

4. ORGANIZE~use a planner to map out your finals schedule and prioritize tasks. Break your study sessions into manageable chunks (e.g., 50-minute study, 10-minute break).

5. PRACTICE SELF-CARE~take a moment to meditate, practice deep breathing or listen to calming music.

6. CONNECT W/ FRIENDS~study in groups to stay motivated or catch up over coffee. Social breaks can help relieve stress and boost morale.

7. LIMIT DISTRACTIONS~put your phone on "do not disturb" while studying. Create a dedicated study space that's tidy and comfortable.

8. CELEBRATE YOUR WINS~cross tasks off your list as you complete them-it's satisfying! Reward yourself after finishing exams with a fun activity or treat!

YOU GOT THIS!

If you need to make a schedule change for next semester, please see Mr. Sebestik in guidance before leaving for the Winter Break.

*THE LAST DAY FOR A SCHEDULE CHANGE WILL BE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8 WHEN WE RETURN FROM BREAK!

A study block or IP in your schedule is a great avenue for success! If you have a study block or IP this semester and would like to ensure you have one for next semester, talk to Mr. Sebestik!
