We have begun administering state-mandated assessments. As a reminder, we are not permitted to interrupt testing sessions once they begin. If your child has an appointment scheduled during one of these mandated assessments, please consider rescheduling it. Additionally, we will not be able to call into classes once testing begins. Sometimes parents come to the school to check-out their child for an appointment and ask us to call into the classroom - we will not be able to do this beginning next week. Please help us best support you and your child by sending a note with your child stating his/her need to be released from class and we will gladly accommodate you (and hopefully minimize your wait).

The Monday we return from Thanksgiving break, our End of Course (EOCs) assessments are scheduled to begin. This is the schedule for these tests:

EOC Schedule

Monday and Tuesday, Dec 9-10: Social Studies (U.S. History ad Economics)

Wednesday and Thursday, Dec 11-12: Science (Biology and Physical Science)

Friday, Dec 13 and Monday-Wednesday, Dec 16-18: Make-ups

Administrators have reviewed the attendance and tardy records for students who were required to sign a parking contract in order to receive a parking decal for the 19-20 school year. Students who are in jeopardy of losing their parking decal for 2nd semester of this school year received a warning letter and conferenced with an administrator when they reached 5 tardies to school. Students who have since broken the contract will be notified prior to the end of first semester about the status of their parking privileges. Please contact Mrs. Tanner if you have questions about student parking.
