Message from the John Glenn Interim Principal
Dear John Glenn Parents/Guardians, Students, and Staff:
As we near the end of another academic year, I am writing to talk about something that may be affecting your seniors: senioritis. Senioritis is a term used to describe a decline in motivation and academic performance that can occur among students in their final year of high school or college as they anticipate graduation.
While it's natural for seniors to feel a sense of relief and excitement as they approach the end of their high school journey, it's important to remind them that their responsibilities as students have not yet concluded. The final stretch of senior year is crucial for maintaining academic focus and ensuring a smooth transition to their post-secondary plans, whether that involves college, vocational training, or entering the workforce.
Senioritis can manifest in various ways, including decreased attendance, lower grades, incomplete assignments, and a general lack of engagement in school-related activities. These behaviors can have consequences not only for their academic success but also for their overall preparedness for the next phase of their lives.
As parents/guardians, your support and encouragement play a vital role in helping your child navigate this challenging period. Here are some strategies you can implement at home to help combat senioritis:
Maintain open communication: Keep the lines of communication open with your child regarding their academic progress and any challenges they may be facing. Offer guidance and support without placing undue pressure on them.
Set realistic goals: Help your child set realistic goals for the remainder of the school year and break them down into manageable steps. Celebrate their achievements along the way to keep them motivated.
Encourage time management: Assist your child in developing effective time management skills to balance their academic responsibilities with other commitments and activities.
Emphasize the importance of finishing strong: Remind your child that their academic performance in their final year can impact their future opportunities, including college admissions, scholarships, and job prospects.
Provide positive reinforcement: Acknowledge and praise your child's efforts and accomplishments to boost their confidence and morale.
Seek additional support if needed: If you notice persistent signs of senioritis or academic struggles, don't hesitate to reach out to their teachers, school counselors, or other support services for assistance.
By working together as a school community and with your support at home, we can help our seniors overcome senioritis and finish their high school journey on a positive note. Thank you for your continued partnership in nurturing the academic and personal growth of our students.
Warm regards,
Scott Kelley
