[HSGuardian] PCHS Exam Schedule & Note

['Julia McBride' via HS Guardian]

PCHS Community, 

Exams are upon us! The exam schedule is attached and pasted below. 

A quick note: Exam week can elicit heightened stress and emotions from students, which can be intensified by the range of feelings that often accompany the holidays and an extended break from school. If you're noticing this in your student, it's quite normal!  Families can help by supporting students in a few simple but important ways:

• Encourage patience, kindness, and grace toward others, especially during stressful moments

• Prioritize healthy routines, including plenty of sleep and regular meals

• Check in often and listen—sometimes students just need to be heard

• Help students plan and pace their studying rather than cramming (more study strategies here)

• Remind students to ask for help from teachers or counselors when needed

As a reminder, free breakfast and lunch are available to all students each school day. Thanks to the PTO, there will also be snacks, gum, and mints available in the Commons during exam passing times to give students an energy boost. 

Thank you for your continued support and for all you do to help our students feel supported and connected as we finish the semester strong.
