"Empowering Students to Design Their Own Future"
Testing season is upon us! Students have shown their hard work and growth throughout the school year and are now ready to demonstrate what they’ve learned on the Ohio State Tests.
Below is a breakdown of the state testing days for NRAC for the month of April:
April 8-9 - Elementary/Middle School ELA (grades 3-8) - COMPLETED!!!
April 15-16 - Elementary/Middle School Science (Grades 5 and 8 only)
April 23-24 - Elementary/Middle School Math (Grades 3-8)
Testing will begin promptly at 8:30 am on testing days. Make-up days/times will be determined after the initial testing day/time has been completed. Middle School students enrolled in HS level courses with state tests will take the state tests on the days listed above.
The state requires students to use wired headphones and recommends a wired mouse if needed. Every student has access to a trackpad, which can function as a mouse for state testing. Please note that the district will not provide either headphones or mice.
To help students prepare at home for testing, please be sure students get adequate sleep and get a healthy breakfast. *Breakfast is available for purchase at NRAC each morning, so students can get a healthy meal before they go to class! Students should also make sure to charge their chromebook nightly and bring wired headphones and a wired computer mouse (if needed) on the days of their tests.
If you have questions about state testing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, your child’s associate principal or your child’s teachers.

As the weather is getting warmer, I wanted to take a moment to remind families about the drop off and pick up procedures for NRAC. Early drop off for car riders begins at 7:15 am. Students who are being dropped off by parents will be allowed to enter the building at 7:15 am. Please click HERE to see more information about drop off and pick up procedures.
When dropping students off in the mornings, please be sure to follow the appropriate drop off routes to ensure a faster and more efficient drop off process.
As a reminder to parents who pick up students from school at the end of the day, please follow the appropriate pick up procedures. Please refrain from using the main entrance staff parking lot to pick up students at the end of the day. This is causing a safety concern as buses are loading students and leaving promptly at the end of the school day. If there is a special circumstance that requires your students to be picked up from the main parking lot, please notify our office.
In addition, on the 3-4 side, students should not be exiting vehicles in the parking lot. Parents should stay in the car line with their child and drop them off in the appropriate drop off area. Students and parents are walking through the parking lot and this is not only slowing down the drop off procedure, but it is also a safety concern.
Spring is almost here! Students will start to wear shorts, dresses, sandals, etc. to school and we wanted to take a moment to send a reminder about appropriate school dress as the days get warmer.
