Talawanda High School

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.

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

Parents and Students of the Class of 2027:

The Class of 2027 is responsible for the homecoming dance in the fall of 2024. In order to provide a great experience for the whole school, the class must generate funds to plan and implement the dance (raising money for homecoming has always been the responsibility of the freshman class). Our goal is for as many freshmen students (or their families) to donate $5 to the Freshmen Five Fundraiser. This money will be imperative for a successful 2024 homecoming dance.

Each student who donates $5 will be listed on the Class of 2027 banner that will be displayed in the school rotunda next school year during homecoming season. Check your emails for information on the fundraiser and how to donate. Thanks in advance for your donations!

Our THS Teacher and Staff Appreciation Mexican Fiesta luncheon will be held on May 6, 2024 from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. There are a number of ways you can show your support; see the available items on THS Teacher and Staff Appreciation Luncheon SignUp Genius.

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.
