It's exam week, and students can experience a lot of different emotions. Here are some tips and tricks to help them be successful while taking exams.

• Get a good night's sleep - Sleep is the fuel your brain needs to function at its best. Going to bed at a reasonable hour will help your mind recharge and increase optimal performance.
• Eat breakfast - There's a reason they say it's the most important meal of the day! Being hungry could distract you from doing your best on exams.
• Wear something comfortable - It can help you focus to be in comfortable clothes, but you also want to be ready to work. Layers are a good way to help regulate temperature.
• Study to learn, not to memorize - The best way to learn is to make connections between the content and something meaningful to you. If you can find a way to tie the material to real-world examples or personal stories, the information can be cemented in your mind.
• Optimize your time - Read each question carefully on your exam, including the directions. If you feel unsure about a question, it can help to mark it and come back to it when you're finished.

Students will be dismissed at 10:41 on these days, so please ensure your student has a ride home at that time.

We want to maintain a learning environment conducive to testing, so we are asking parents to limit calling students out of class unless it is absolutely necessary.

If a student is absent for an exam, it is the student's responsibility to set up a plan with the teacher to make-up the test.

Many classes require students to take the final exam digitally, so students should bring a charged Chromebook with them to school every day.

LCN students who attend Pankow will need to get on a bus in the back loop of High School North the morning of their Pankow exams. The final bus leaves the LCN bus loop at 7:04, so please plan accordingly.
