Beast Week was a huge success this year. With your help, Horizon was not only able to meet our goal of raising $5,000, we were able to EXCEED it!! This year, Horizon raised a grand total of $9,061.21. That would not be possible without the support of you! Thank you so much for your support during this amazing event!

Oklahoma will be a prime location to view the Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. This is an amazing learning opportunity that everyone is excited about, but we have to make sure we proceed with caution, given the risk associated with it. NASA has presented some clear and concise safety guidance for this eclipse.

All students will be provided with protective eye wear. Many classes will be participating in learning activities related to the eclipse.

Make sure you're checking your child's grades with them on PowerSchool weekly. They check their grades, in homeroom, almost daily so they know how to check.

If they are missing an assignment, they have until the end of the unit test to submit. Waiting until the end of the quarter makes it extremely difficult for students to do their best work.

The state testing window begins 4/18 and ends 5/15. Grade specific dates will be sent out closer to testing time.

Things to remember about testing:

• Bring a charged Chromebook every day.
• Be on time, we start promptly at 8:10
• Make sure your child gets plenty of rest
• Remind your child to eat a healthy breakfast

If your students has testing accommodations, we cannot guarantee that they will be tested on the days that the whole group is tested. More than likely it will be a different day.
