- HAL STUDENT MENTORS needed for Freshmen First Day on Tuesday, August 11
New next year, we will be meeting with all freshmen HAL students during their first day back on Tuesday, August 11. We would love to have a current HAL students hold small group discussions regarding the HAL Services in high school. We would meet with you before the end of the school year to develop the talking points. You would need to be available to come to school on August 11 during lunch. We may also use these mentors in various other capacities throughout the school year. This would be a great way to get involved and develop your leadership skills. Fill out the form below if you are interested.

Semester Finals: Tips and Schedule
- Start reviewing for finals now. Do not wait and try to “cram” all the information into your head in one night. A cummulative final exam can count for up to 10% of your semester grade.
- If your teacher provides study or review guides, work on them as soon as they are provided to you. Write things out and don't just look at notes.
- Have a parent or friend quiz you on information you believe will be on the exam. Make flashcards for vocabulary words and carry them with you. You can review them when you are waiting for some activity to begin. A few minutes at a time can make a big difference on exam day.
- Get a good night’s sleep before your exams! Staying up very late the night before an exam will only make it more difficult for you to remember things and process your answers. Sleep deprivation is not the answer to doing well on your finals!
