Tomorrow, a random sample of our 8th grade students will take the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Students should come to school well rested and on time. Thank you!
8th-graders, don’t forget! If you have been selected to take NAEP, your participation is essential for understanding what students across the country have learned in school. Warm up your mental gears by checking out the NAEP Test Yourself tool at http://bit.ly/2cm6NBa.
Parents, if your 8th-grader has been selected to take NAEP, he or she will represent thousands of other students across the United States. Discover other reasons why participation is so important: https://go.usa.gov/xycJG

Today, students from 8th-11th grade were able to attend our CTE/Elective Fair. This was to share information about programs available to get them thinking about their schedule for next year. Be sure to talk to them about their interests, and of course more will come home at a later time. Also, here is our Program of Studies that can be found under student resources, to see the great offerings at our school.
