Regarding Winter Testing in December 2017 and January 2018:

Students currently enrolled in English 10, Algebra 1, or Biology will be administered the corresponding Keystone Assessment(s) during the month of December for Literature and January for Algebra 1 and Biology. Our testing schedule will be available on the CBW Keystone Assessment Webpage at http://www.cbsd.org/Page/25869. This webpage also includes resources to help students prepare for the assessments. After-school help sessions for Algebra and Biology are also posted under “Testing Supports at CB West.” Students enrolled in English 10, Algebra 1, or Biology during 2nd Semester will test in May.

State Assessment Proficiency Requirements:
Currently, PDE requires students in the class of 2019 and beyond to have reached proficiency on each of the three Keystone Exams prior to graduation. Students are encouraged to retake the test if proficiency is not reached on the first attempt.

Keystone Retake Procedures:
If proficiency is not met on a Keystone exam, students are encouraged to retest. Typically, students are invited to retest the following school year when scheduled for their next math, English, or science course. However, if students who tested in December or January would like to schedule a May retest, please contact Mr. Hoffman at dhoffman@cbsd.org.

The Central Bucks School District offers a standardized testing prep system, ePrep, to all its students. This free web-based program helps students prepare for the PSAT, SAT and ACT. There are practice tests, test-taking tips, and instructional videos that explain how to do the problem(s) that may have been answered incorrectly during the practice session. The link is http://www.eprep.com.

All CB West sophomores have been registered with accounts. They should log in with their CBSD student email and the password eprep2017. Juniors and seniors, who are interested in accessing ePrep but do not have an account, should contact Ms. Graney in the CB West Library for an account.

CB West’s Art 2 and 3 classes had the opportunity to visit the Michener Museum of Art on Friday, October 20th. Students viewed “George Sotter: Light and Shadow” and “A Time to Break Silence: Pictures of Social Change”. They also experienced two painting exhibits. Students were able to bring concepts back to the work they are doing in their classrooms at CB West. It was a wonderful and engaging trip for our art students!

8 CB West students visited Washington DC with History Corps and attended the National Veterans Conference. The experience they received is priceless.

The group interviewed veterans from WWII to today, listened to military leadership presentations, and had the unique experience to meet and listen to Chuck Hagel (former secretary of defense).

This was a very memorable event for all involved!

Congratulations to the Harlequin Club for a fabulous performance this past weekend in "You Can't Take It with You".

During the month of November, CB West baseball players meet once a week with players from the Central Bucks Family YMCA Ability Baseball program. Together they learn about baseball, develop their skills, and create new friendships.
