STANDARDIZED TESTING:

Middle school standardized testing will take place April 15th & 16th (6th & 7th-graders, ERB on both days & 8th-graders, PSAT on the 16th). Please avoid scheduling appointments or early releases before noon on these days, as students arriving late will miss portions of the test and will not be permitted to join tests that have already begun.

To learn more about the ERBs, join us for an informational coffee on March 19th. More information in the calendar section.

To ensure your child performs their best, please make sure they get a good night's sleep, eat a nutritious breakfast, and arrive on time.

Standardized testing matters, but one test never defines your child. It is one helpful snapshot of how students are progressing and how we are doing as a school. We use the results to celebrate growth, notice patterns, and adjust support and instruction where needed.Thank you for supporting your students and the school!

ATTENDANCE UPDATE:

Please note that, whenever a student is absent and the “Report New Attendance” form is not submitted in PowerSchool, the absence is marked as an Unreported Absence (UA). Parents have three school days to either submit a doctor’s note to the division office or complete the form in PowerSchool. This does not necessarily exempt the absence from the “more than four” rules.

Any unresolved UAs after the three-day window will result in late penalties and disciplinary consequences for affected student work. Please help us support your child’s learning by reporting all absences promptly.
