EXAM HINTS & TIPS
(please see
FROM THE LIBRARY...
Test Taking Tips, courtesy of
Mrs. Gray
)
All this discussion about final exams relates to the need for students to
study in advance
and prepare to do their
best. In almost every class, this exam represents a cumulative test of their work from all year. This can be an
overwhelming amount of material and many teachers have begun reviewing in class, as well as holding sessions
after school.
Please
check with your son or daughter to determine what he or she is doing in terms of
review—
Is it happening in classes?
Are there after school sessions your student can attend?
Is your child bringing books home to study now?
Does your child have a tendency to wait until the night before and
try to cram? The most important things parents can do are to
:
•
encourage attendance at review sessions,
•
help your student begin studying now through
organization of notes and review materials,
•
offer assistance studying if it is necessary, and
•
know your child's schedule.
ATTENDANCE
This is a crucial time for students to be in school. It is quite
tempting to take an afternoon off when the weather is so nice. We
all need to encourage our students to understand the importance of
being in school as teachers help them prepare for upcoming finals.
This also means being to school on time.

NOTES OF INTEREST TO PARENTS OF SENIORS
–
1.
“Senior Skip Day” was on May 13. More than 70% of the senior
class was absent that day, some legally, most not. If your senior
son or daughter has not shared with you, there were
consequences. All of the seniors who were absent illegally
received a step for truancy. This meant a detention for the
majority of the seniors as many were at step 1 in the discipline
system. In addition to the step, there were sanctions applied to
the class as a whole. They need to understand, as does the
community, that this is not an activity we condone. My goal
each spring is to maintain a valid educational environment and I
want the seniors to help with this. They were told that if a group
of seniors (2 or more) disrupt that educational environment for
the other students, they would be denied either their senior
banquet June 6 in Canandaigua and, if it happens after June 6,
the June 13
th
picnic to Darien Lake will be forfeit.
There are numerous events to help the seniors celebrate the end of
their high school career that make this unnecessary. The common
parent remark is that they did the same thing when they were i
n
school so it’s okay for their child. It’s
not
okay as the stakes are
higher than when we went through school. The liability issues we
face are tremendous, as is the pressure of the testing for the students.
The diploma for which they are working is even more important to
our children’s success than it was to our own.
2.
IS YOUR SENIOR CERTIFIED FOR GRADUATION?
At the end of the third marking period the Guidance office notifies the parents of any senior who is even remotely in
jeopardy of not graduating. This means that these students are not yet certified for graduation. If you received this
notice, please be sure to check with the school to ensure your son or daughter does everything possible to reach that
stage on June 23
rd
! Contact the Guidance Office (Mrs. Merriett), myself, or the teacher of the class in which your
child is having trouble.
3.
BACCALAUREATE IS JUNE 17
th
at 7:00 p.m. – Williamson Senior High School Auditorium.
4.
GRADUATION IS JUNE 23
rd
at 10:00 a.m. – Williamson Senior High School Courtyard.
FROM THE NURSE…
Cynthia Showman, R.N.
Cap and Gown fittings for the Senior Class will be held on Monday, June 11
th
. They will be handed out on Thursday
and Friday, June 14
th
and 15
th
, from 7:30 a.m.3:00 p.m. All seniors must come to the Health Office to get their cap
and gown either Thursday or Friday.
Those students who still have medication in my office from this school year must have it picked up by their parents
by Wednesday, June 20
th
. Either stop in from 7:303:00 p.m., or call to make arrangements with me. I will be
disposing of any medication that is left after that time.
Remember to hand in your paperwork for fall sports by June 22
nd
. If you are having a summer physical, please have
the forms sent to school as soon as the physical is completed so the lists can be completed and given to coaches. This
will speed up the process so
everyone
who wants to try out will be able to do so in a timely manner.
I will be seeing some of you in August. Hope you have a fun and relaxing summer.
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
The 7th annual Breakfast of Champions was held May 30
th
in honor of 43 students who have earned a place on
the High Honor Roll (average of 95 +) at least once during the first t
hree marking periods. Ben Minier,
Williamson Central School K
4 Physical Education Teacher, was the featured speaker. Students and their
parents were invited to this celebration of academic success.
Jerry Cantalupo and Comdr. Sammy Drayton speak at WHS
Jerry Cantalupo spoke to our student body on May 8
th
about their responsibility for reallife choices. He proved to be a very
dynamic speaker who was very direct with the students and told his story in a nononsense manner. He used humor and
drama to make the point that we really are our brother’s keeper. His focal story was of a classmate who committed suicide
as a result of the taunting she received. He felt he was personally responsible, as he did nothing to prevent the verbal
assaults on this girl. He also talked of the responsibility involved when students drink or use other drugs. There was an
accident in Kentucky about 8 years ago in which 27 students were killed when a drunk driver hit their school bus headon.
He asked 27 seniors to stand in the front of the auditorium so that we could visualize the impact of this tragedy.
The student responses to Mr. Cantalupo were excellent. He spoke for 45 minutes to the entire school and then met with
small groups of students for the rest of the morning in the library. There were several students who approached me to say
“Thank You” for bringing him to our school. It’s good that we have an environment in which speakers such as Mr. Cantalupo
are made welcome
.
* * * * *
The Rev. Sammy Drayton of Sodus was invited by Mrs. Legler through the efforts of Ms. Walker to speak to the students in
Mrs. Legler’s alternative program. He spoke two days after Mr. Cantalupo. We opened this for other students as well and
had approximately 30–35 for each of the two periods he spoke. As the title “Reverend” denotes, he is an ordained minister
serving one of the local churches in Sodus. The title “Comdr.” refers to his rank with the Rochester City Police Department.
He is second in command of the uniform patrols. He also made an impression on the students as he spoke of selfhonesty
and not allowing petty comments and differences to interfere with the attainment of one’s goals.
