First semester finals will be Dec. 19-21. See class times below. Please note the order of the classes. Below are some im-portant items to remember during finals.
OPT OUTS: Students earn the privilege to opt out of one final ex-am per semester. Students must have an A in the class in order to opt out of its final. Students lose their opt out privilege if they receive a disciplinary referral for any reason, including exces-sive tardies and Missed Bronco Hour detentions. Classroom opt outs are always at the teachers' discretion.
ATTENDANCE: Qualifying students will bring home opt-out forms for parents to review. By signing the opt out form, par-ents agree to allow students to attend only those classes they need for finals, excusing them from any class in which they are not taking a final exam. With a parent-signed form on file, it is not necessary to call the office for attendance on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Students who do not qualify to opt out of a final or who do not obtain a parent signature must have a parent contact the office if they wish to leave the building for any rea-son during finals.
During finals, students may not leave the building during class for any reason and must leave during PASSING PERIODS ONLY (if excused by a parent to do so). Passes will not be sent to the classrooms, and students will not be called out of classes for any reason. Students are advised to report to the office during passing if they have been excused to leave. Students who are late to a class in which there is a final may not be allowed into that class and will need to make other arrangements to make up the exam.

On Oct. 23, nineteen students from the SHHS Volunteer Club
attended the Veterans Community Project to dedicate a day
of service to help with the building of tiny houses for home-
less veterans. The first phase of homes included thirteen
houses which have been built to provide homeless veterans
safe and warm places to live. Our volunteers helped with the
second phase of the project currently underway.
The volunteers felt it was a wonderful place to volunteer and
enjoyed the opportunity to make somebody’s day better. The
groups of volunteers brought their working gloves and
shovels and were ready to work. Some volunteers cleaned
around the office while others assisted inside the houses.
The volunteers also picked up trash and moved equipment
out of the way for the people that were laying concrete and
placing electricity into the homes.
The volunteers kept busy and finished every job that was
assigned to them. Those who participated in working on
baseboards and painting the walls had a lot of fun. Everyone
was excited to help out with the houses.
At the end of the day, all the volunteers picked up their mate-
rials and cleaned everything. The VCP coordinator spoke to
the volunteers and stated that our group “made a big differ-
ence in the community” and were “the best volunteers he
has worked with in many months.” It was definitely a great
day spent helping build tiny houses. SHHS volunteers were
happy to assist this organization and homeless veterans get
off the streets and into a warm and safe place to stay.

Student Study Tips for Finals
With finals right around the corner, here are some study tips to get you in the right mindset and prepped for finals.
Study Alone: Unless you've got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study sessions because they tend to get off-topic pretty quickly. Save the social time until after you've handed in your test.
Create Your Perfect Study Area: The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable, and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door, and kill as many distractions as possible - like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don't have your own room that you can sneak away to, consider studying at the library instead.
Turn Your Notes into Flashcards: Now that you've got all your notes in front of you, open up a pack of index cards. As you read through the important facts, rewrite them in Q&A form on the cards. For instance: to study historical facts, write the historical fact on one side of the card and the key details on the other side. To study geometry formulas, write the name of the formula on one side and the formula itself on the other side.
Narrow it Down: If you try to study every single thing your teacher's ever said, you'll go crazy. Instead, focus on the most im-portant topics. If you're not sure what those are, read the study guide (if there is one), or ask your classmates. Once you've nailed down the important stuff, if there's still time left before the test, you can move on to the finer details.
Take a Break: Your brain can only take so much hard work at one time. For every hour that you study, take about 15 minutes to do something mindless, like taking a walk, listening to music, or playing a computer game. (You can even take a 15-minute nap if you're confident you can wake yourself up at the end of it.) It'll keep your stress level down and give your brain a chance to let all that information sink in.
Put Yourself to the Test: Once you've got your set of flashcards, test yourself with them. If you don't trust yourself not to cheat, give the cards to your parents and have them test you. Don't stop until you've made it through the whole stack without any mistakes. And be sure to bring your flashcards to school with you on the day of the test: you'll be amazed at how much more you can retain if you run through the cards right before your teacher hands out the test packet.
Get Some Sleep: You might be tempted to pull an all-nighter, but if you do, you'll only be hurting your chances of getting an A. Get a full 8 hours of sleep so your brain is in good shape on test day.

Don’t Hibernate From the Future
So, your teen wants to eventually graduate! Where to begin? When to begin? The thought of this can be over-whelming, but your student doesn’t have to hide from the world. Here’s a great winter project: map out the gradu-ation future! It’s easy to do; just follow these simple steps:
1. Determine which graduation/diploma path you want to take.
Hoping to be a valedictorian, salutatorian, or qualify as a National Merit Scholar? Choose the Kansas State Scholar Curriculum.
Want to attend a state university? Choose the Kansas Qualified Admissions Curriculum.
Just want to graduate with the required classes? Choose the SHHS Graduation Requirements.
2. Next, look at the courses you’ve completed and the courses you are currently taking. You can find these on: Skyward Family Access under Academic History.
Check off the courses you’ve taken and passed and then determine what’s left to complete.
Before you know it, your student will be prepared to fly into their future and you’ll feel good knowing that you have encouraged them to find their wings and take on the world!
How to Praise Your Teen
It is simple to learn how to praise a teen, you just need to remember to do it until it becomes second nature.
1. Pay attention. Observe the things your teen is doing and give praise for the positive actions that deserve it.
2. Be genuine in your praise. Your teen will be able to tell if you are not communicating your actual feelings.
3. Tell them what you like. Begin by telling your teen what you have observed, say that you liked or loved it and then explain why.
4. Do something nice for your teen. For example, "I thought that since you were working so hard on your exams this week, I would do your chore for you."
5. Praise in front of others. Tell someone else how well your teen is doing in front of your teen. This can be embarrassing for a teen, so keep it in the family or with close friends.
6. No “buts” allowed! You’ll ruin the praise if you add a “but” on the end of it. Point out the good aspect and skip the criticism, saving that for a time when they really could use it.
Tips for Giving Your Teen Praise by Denise Witmer
Genuine Praise Can Raise a Teenager’s Self-Esteem
Praising teenagers for doing good things is essential to shaping them into the young adult you want them to be. You want to send a message that good deeds and actions deserve as much attention as their negative actions.
Giving a teen praise is easy, especially when you know what to look for and how to do it.
Why Do Teens Need Praise?
Teens who receive genuine praise from their parents and the adults around them have more self-confidence and a higher self-esteem.
They are better able to form good habits based on the praise they receive.
Telling a teenager that you are proud of them or noticed a special thing they did can help you form a stronger bond as well. They may feel more comfortable telling you about the good and bad things that happen and open up more often about how they are feeling.
It is very common for teens to feel disconnected from their parents, and a little praise can help remedy that.
The holidays can often times be a source of stress
for people with anxiety. The SHHS Counseling Office
can provide resources for adults and teens dealing
with the many forms of anxiety. Contact Janet Taylor
