We will be doing Edmentum testing this week. We will have individual core departments proctor a test each day during regularly scheduled class time. Today is Math and Tuesday will be the Language Arts Test taken during your English class. Please show up to your classes so you can get the test finished. We use this approach to minimize testing anxiety and to help with testing stamina. Make sure that your computers are charged the nights before, you bring your chargers to school, and be ready to go for testing.
Pride Club will be meeting in Mrs. Ciner's room (A107) after school Tuesday, January 28th! All are welcome!
