Teaching and Learning
- Ohio State Tests for English Language Arts: April 12-13 (all students)
- Ohio State Tests for Mathematics: April 25-26 (all students)
- Ohio State Tests for Science: May 2-3 (8th graders and selected 7th graders only)
Students will prepare for each test day by rotating through three different stations, designed to support the whole child! Station One is a "Breakfast Bash" arranged by our food services director, Mr. Philips. We kick off the first week of testing with a Fruit and Yogurt Parfait Bar on Wednesday (Day 1 of the Reading Test) and a French Toast Bar on Thursday (Day 2 of the Reading Test). For Station Two, students will participate in SEL (social-emotional learning) activities prepared by teachers in grade-level classrooms. Students will head to the gym for Station Three, where Mr. Orleman has arranged for a variety of activities to get students moving and energized!
Please help support your child by making sure students get plenty of rest the night before each test and ensuring they arrive at school on time each test day. Thank you in advance for your support!
