Message from the Superintendent
Second semester brings with it the beginning of many important activities. Students in specified grades will take part in state mandated testing. During the school year, the staff works diligently to ensure that students learn the skills that are assessed by these measures. In addition, as many juniors and seniors prepare for post high school education, the preparation for and taking of assessments like the ACT and SAT are important for future planning. Parents of eighth grade students will be involved in critical decisions regarding the type of high school curriculum in which to enroll. Look for additional information with grade reports and on the district website.
We appreciate and encourage your continued involvement in your child’s education. There is no better way to increase student learning than through the support of parents at home. By helping your child with his/her homework assignments, reading with him/her on a regular basis, and using everyday activities as learning tools, you are helping your child become an even stronger student. For many of us, it has been a long time since we actually studied the periodic table, for example; however, please feel free to contact the teacher for an explanation or utilize the information available on the Internet so that you can better help your child. Together we can provide the best overall educational experience for our children.
