May 2024
We are in the home stretch of the 4th quarter and the last month of the school year! We will be finishing up Ohio State Tests this month; May 2nd is our 8th grade Science test as well as any Math makeup tests. All tests will begin in the morning. If you could please make sure that your son/daughter brings their charged school issued Chromebook for testing that would be greatly appreciated. For those that have a personal device we will provide them with a school issued device for testing days. All OST tests need to be conducted on a school owned device.
Students will be taking spring MAP assessments this month in ELA and Math classes. Teachers will communicate which days these will be taken.
Lastly, we have many fun activities and trips planned this month. Our 6th graders will be heading to Camp Nuhop, 7th grade to Main Event, and our 8th graders will travel to Cedar Point. All of the trip information is below and has been sent home in emails. We have reminded students that if they receive a suspension during the 4th quarter they will not be permitted to attend their class trip.
We are all looking forward to the last month of school and warmer temperatures!
Sincerely,
Kelli Davisson
Principal
