Swann Lion Times
Your Weekly Update about our Lion Pride!
What Our Lions Are Learning
In 7th grade, our Lions are studying cells in Science, rational number arithmetic in Math, and research skills and text evidence in ELA. In Social Studies, they took the YouScience test to begin discovering their career aptitudes.
In 8th grade, our Lions are working on a project about their high school and career/college plans in Social Studies, learning about the American Revolution with their research unit in ELA, studying the the water table in Science, and working with linear equations in Math.
See if your Lion can tell you about the activities they've done to master their standards!

Interim Tests
Interim tests will take place Jan. 18 and 19!
Each year all students take the Interim Assessments in Reading, Math, and 8th Grade Science several times a year. These tests provide data on students progress towards mastery of the class standards. We also use this data to guide our class instruction and student interventions. Please help us encourage your students to do their bests on their interim tests--make sure they arrive to school on time on testing days and help ensure they get a good night's sleep the night before.Support our Drum Line and Dance Team!
