Farewell for '15!

Good Morning, Happy Monday, Welcome to June!!  We made it ... this is the final week of the school year!!  Here are a few reminders to make sure your finals week goes swell:

1. You must attend ALL finals and be ON TIME!!  That means that if you have an Academy class you are either presenting OR you are an active audience member!  If you have a non-academy class - you have to prepare yourself to do the very best you can on that final!
1. you can see the presentation and audience schedule here: https://goo.gl/8sFYZy
2. On the day of your presentation, make sure you have SHARED your presentation with the teacher whose room you'll be presenting in AND that you come DRESSED TO IMPRESS!!
3. Presentation should be well thought out and clearly prepared.  Presentation should be impressive with an image on each slide if possible!  You should definitely have note cards or a print out of some sort to navigate your presentation.  Face and Engage your audience!
4. Work Hard, Do Great on Every Final!! Many are worth 20% of your grade and can significantly help you!!  Leave here Thursday feeling great about your efforts and looking forward to an even better year next year!!

Thank you for a great 180 school days!!
