WY-TOPP Matters!
Starting April 15, all 9th and 10th graders will begin WY-TOPP testing. These tests allow students to showcase what they have learned and to represent themselves and East High School in a positive way. Test scores are also used to determine learning interventions. In the coming weeks, teachers will work with students to set growth goals and to offer strategies. Students that meet their growth goal will attend a celebration in May.
