Spring EOC Testing

Spring EOC testing is right around the corner! Please review this info to ensure you and your students are prepared.

Class testing:
*Students taking any of the following classes will test on Tuesday & Wednesday for 3 consecutive weeks. Specific testing locations will be established and shared with students/families & staff once established. Please note that each EOC test has a part 1 and a part 2.

ELA II: 4/16-4/17 (one part each day)

ALGEBRA I/ GEOMETRY: 4/23-4/24 (one part each day)

BIOLOGY: 4/30 (both parts on the same day)

AMERICAN HISTORY/ GOVERNMENT: 5/1 (both parts on the same day)

We will use the above rotating schedules on class testing days and bells will be programmed accordingly. Tuesday’s you will have bells 1, 3, 5, 7. Wednesday’s you will have bells 2, 4, 5, 6. Non-testing students do not need to be here during the testing session, they will be permitted to arrive at their delayed start time. Should a non-testing student arrive prior to their delayed start time, they will be held in the cafeteria until testing concludes (10:15/11:30) before being released to bell 1/2.

Re-testing/ Make-ups:
Students re-testing to demonstrate competency and students completing make-up testing will be pulled from their regular class schedule to complete testing throughout the testing window. Additional information will be shared with these students/families as we get closer to testing.

Questions about EOC testing can be directed to Mrs. Hess at hessb@talawanda.org

Artists

Talawanda High School has art students participating in the 2024 U.S. Congressional Art Competition for Representative Warren Davidson. We wish good luck to Olivia Andrews, Jaylyn Byers, Ashley Felblinger, Lillian Franks, and Melody Miao. We would like to thank the Greater Oxford Community Foundation for providing the funding for matting supplies, which allow us to participate in local shows and competitions. More exhibit info will be shared in April, along with a link to the virtual art show. Good luck to all of our talented artists!

Final Forms

FINAL FORMS UPDATE & REMINDER:

TSD will prompt parents in the first week of August to begin updating their child's school forms for the 2024-25 school year. We know sometimes parents begin doing this early, but it's important to wait for the prompt from the district, as some forms will be changing for next school year. The updates will be made in July, after all of the summer programs are completed.

NHS

NHS Seniors: NHS graduation stoles may be ordered from Ms. Klovekorn in room 220 at THS by no later than April 19, 2024. The cost is $25.oo each, and the graduate keeps the stole. This year, we will wear white stoles to contrast with the blue graduation gowns everyone will wear. It is fine to borrow an NHS stole from an older sibling or friend, but please make sure it is white. We will NOT wear the light blue stole from the past. Please contact Ms. Klovekorn directly with questions at klovekorna@talawanda.org

Please bring $25.00 cash or a check payable to Talawanda High School by April 19.
