Willow Creek is extending an invitation for 6th-8th grade students to have an additional opportunity to qualify for the Middle School Highly Gifted Program by taking the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT).

Highly Gifted Program CogAT Registration. Registration deadline is September 15, 2023.

6th Grade: October 26 (8:10-11:10)

7th and 8th Grade: November 2 (8:10-11:10)

Weekly, we meet with each grade level to share important announcements, information, and learnings about being successful at school.

During our Homeroom Auditorium message this week, students learned about the Student Handbook. The message for the students is that Willow Creek is a place where all students have a safe and productive environment at school. Students learned about Level 1s and Level 2s and consequences that come with it. The Student Handbook is located on Classlink in the folder labeled, "My Site Links", on the student's Chromebook.

In last week's message about the delivery of the MCA/MTAS results, please be on a lookout this coming week (the week of 9/11) for the results. Our students did not take the MCAs and there will not be any record of them taking it. We are directed by the Minnesota Department of Education to provide paper copies of the 'results'. The paper copies will come home with your child.

Students who took the MTAS last spring, the results will be in your child's backpack on Monday, September 11.

Thank you for moving through the drop-off and pick-up line efficiently. Please remember that if your vehicle is between the two cones (cones on the sidewalk north side of the building and southeast side of the building), please have your child disembark quickly and safely to continue the flow of traffic.
