About the WASL...

WASL Testing begins next week and continues into the following week. As in the past, the PTSA is providing students with a mid-morning snack bar. And that's where you come in! We need volunteers to purchase snacks, and to help distribute snacks on test mornings from 7:30 to 8 am. If you can help please contact Jennifer Veninga. Here are the ASB and Leadership tips for the WASL: 1. Be prepared helps reduce test anxiety 2. Maintain a positive attitude while you take the test 3. Exercise helps reduce stress and anxiety 4. Get a good night's sleep before the test 5. Show up early to class so you have time to relax 6. Stay relaxed, if you get nervous, take a few deep breaths to slowly relax yourself 7. Skim through the questions first so you have a good idea what to expect 8. Write down the important keywords and facts in the test margins 9. Don't worry about how fast other people finish their test; just concentrate on your own test. 10. Read the questions very carefully and watch for important details.

Yearbook?

From Ms. Gerlitz: Hawks, the yearbook needs your pictures. Do you take pictures of your fiends outside of school? If so, the Yearbook needs them. All you need to do is take a slip from one of the flyers and go home and upload the pictures. Remember to only upload pictures of Hamilton students. From the Yearbook Staff: Hey Hawks! We’ve extended the yearbook deadline! Have you bought your yearbook yet? Well, don’t worry. We’ve extended the deadline to April 15th, next Tuesday. The price will remain the same; $30 per book.
